The Founding Fathers on Impeachment

Parody Place itemprop="discussionURL"4 Comments

“Good evening viewers, and welcome to The Story.  I’m your host, Martha MacCallum, and we have a very special panel assembled tonight to discuss Washington’s hottest story:  the impeachment of President Donald Trump.

“Joining me tonight are three household names, at least for those who paid attention in high school history class.  Tonight we welcome three legendary Virginians – former president James Madison, George Mason, the author of Virginia’s Declaration of Rights, and Constitutional Convention delegate Edmund Randolph.

“Gentlemen, welcome to The Story. President Madison, let’s start with you, sir.  Your general impression of this historic impeachment of America’s 45th president?”

“In a word ma’am, ‘scandalous.’  This fiasco is a perfect example of why we set the bar for impeachment so high.  It was never intended to be used as a bludgeon and to be abused by someone like Mr. Pencil Neck and that saucy, slurring wench Pelosi.

“So you think these impeachment hearings don’t meet the criteria you and others intended?” MacCallum asked.

“Certainly not,” the diminutive fourth president exclaimed.  ‘Abuse of power’ and ‘obstruction of justice’ are hardly impeachable offenses as we designed them – even if they are brought by a congenital liar whose eyes look like he cheated the hangman more than once.

“Allow me to translate the impeachment articles as submitted by the House impeachment managers: Article 1: We detest Donald Trump, and Article 2:  We can’t beat Donald Trump at the ballot box.”

“And what say you, Mr. Mason?  Do you agree with President Madison’s assessment?” MacCallum asked.

“Quite, my dear,” Mason snorted. “The first article of impeachment, abuse of power, is so vague it could mean anything from the president tweeted fat jokes about Jerrold Nadler, to he entered Maxine Waters into the Westminster Dog Show.  It’s a preposterous charge…the articles of impeachment, I mean, not about entering Mrs. Waters into a dog show.

“And the second count, sir? Obstruction of Congress?” MacCallum queried.

“Balderdash!” Mason said vehemently.  “Defending yourself against rogue intelligence agents, slanderous members of Congress and a soft coup by ‘Deep State’ pencil pushers is hardly obstructing Congress.”

“Mr. Randolph, what about you? Your feelings on the nation’s third impeachment effort against a sitting president?” MacCallum asked Virginia’s seventh governor.

“It’s all incredulous,” Randolph said quietly. “From our unique vantage point as authors of the Constitution, its obvious that President Trump wasn’t soliciting interference in 2020, but rather was seeking a commitment from a country receiving American foreign aid as to whether illicit election interference occurred in 2016.”

“The whole kit and caboodle sounds like something Benedict Arnold would have done against George Washington!” he added disgustedly.

“Gentlemen, thank you for being here and for sharing your take on the Trump impeachment,” MacCallum said at the interview’s conclusion.  “I can’t let you go, though, without asking all of you about your opinion on the hit Broadway musical, Alexander Hamilton.

Almost as one the trio rolled their eyes before Madison replied, “Hamilton has been insufferable since that damnable show went live. Know what’s funny, though? Alex can’t carry a tune to save his life, and we all know that white men can’t dance!”

Schiff Sham Show And Witless Witnesses

Riffing itemprop="discussionURL"Leave a comment

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.

Impeachment Lite is a Dud

Run and Gun itemprop="discussionURL"2 Comments

“Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin’ around…”
– REO Speedwagon

President Donald Trump obliterated the anonymous CIA whistleblower’s complaint of messin’ around with Ukraine by releasing a verbatim transcript of his call with the Ukrainian president.

Sadly, it isn’t a coincidence that another whistleblower popped up almost immediately.

Cue “Pop Goes the Weasel.”

According to multiple sources, the second whistleblower claims they can speak “directly” concerning events about the president’s conversation with Ukraine.

That’s what the first whistleblower claimed, too – until it was later learned that his/her formal complaint was based on secondhand and third-hand sources.

That isn’t whistleblowing as much as spitting in the wind.

How do we know that Whistleblower #2 isn’t just whistling Dixie regarding what they claim they know? We don’t, but that doesn’t stop the mainstream media from reporting it as gospel.

Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another.

“Whistleblower Gate” is the same chicanery the Democrats used when trying to block Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination last fall.

First it was psychologist and statistics professor Christine Blasey-Ford who played the odds by making unsubstantiated allegations against Kavanaugh.

Next up in joining the muckraking mosh pit was Kavanaugh’s Yale classmate Deborah Ramirez, and finally, 15-minutes of fame diva Julie Swetnick did her cannonball into the corruption cesspool – before recanting.

See the pattern? #MeToo.

Now we have a similar game plan with the Ukrainian phone call imbroglio.  When the Deep State narrative begins to lag and the pendulum of doubt starts to swing the other way, Democrats trot out another whistleblower to back up the story of the earlier whistleblower(s).

Former State Department employee and whistleblower Peter Van Buren says that’s an old CIA trick called a “feedback loop.”

“Essentially what you do is you set up one of your sources to back up another source and you make it appear that your initial source is more credible by feeding information into the loop. That’s what seems to be going on here. They’re re-purposing a witness as a second whistleblower,” he told Tucker Carlson Oct 7.

Van Buren called it a “three way pitch-and-toss” between the Deep State whistleblowers, the Democrat Party and the mainstream media.

That may be one name for the Deep State’s reprehensible behavior, but here’s another one:  “impeachable.”

New Reasons to Impeach the President

Riffing itemprop="discussionURL"Leave a comment

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.”
