Impeachment is a Kabuki Dance
Timothy Birdnow
Here is a nice opinion piece by Scott Jennings, former aid to W. Bush and Mitch McConnell. Jennings calls impeachment out for what it is.
From the article:
Frankly I'm surprised that Jennings said this (I've always assumed he was just a RINO.) He makes nice points like this throughout the whole piece.
For example:
I think he's right here; Pelosi was going to do this thing. It was just a matter of appearing statemenlike. Much like Caesar eschewing the crown three times, Pelosi was against impeachment before she was for it.
Here's another good point:
Indeed. Why is it OUR side always has to be the ones to extend the hand? THEY never do. And when WE extend ours, they usually bite it off.
Frankly, if the Democrats and media don't hate you you aren't doing your job properly. That's why I have no use for guys like Mitt Romney. They hated "Walter" Mitt when he ran for President, but they love them so Mittens now! Why? Because he's turned all Benedict Arnold on us.
The purpose of conservative support for the Republicans is to serve our goals. We want to preserve the Republic, to preserve our religious faith, to preserve our liberty and way of life. If the GOP serves those goals then they get our support. If they do not they lose it. Right now Trump is getting our support because he appears to be the most zealous defender of our beliefs. NOT the best, perhaps, and he may not even agree with us but he is smart enough to understand that his success is tied to advancing the agenda he promised. The RINO GOP is serving another agenda, another people, and another god. They are more interested in working with the Democrats, with whom they share beliefs and dreams.
It is understandable that the Democrats impeach Trump; they are scorpions and they will sting. It's in their nature. But the Republicans who want to go along with this know that Trump is not guilty of the crimes with which he is being accused but want him out because they don't like him and he made an end run around them. That is poor motivation.
Trump may be a flawed man and a blowhard, but he's OUR flawed blowhard. In the end loyalty is more important than taste.
We live in an imperfect world, and politics is a messy business. I wish we could have had a man of strong character in the White House, but we have to make do. Mr. Trump is certainly better than the weak Republicans who surrendered almost everything to the Left.
If you don't show up you can't win. Trump at least is in the game all the time.
So you RINO types like Romney shut your pieholes!
And start fighting. I don't care what you think of the President, in the end this is OUR President and he must be defended. The stakes are too high. Those stakes are not just this presidency, but future Republican presidencies as well. If the Dems succeed at this they will have set a precedent, and the peaceful transition of power will be over. forever after elections won't matter.
This will change America forever if they win. So grow a pair and stand up for America!
Here is a nice opinion piece by Scott Jennings, former aid to W. Bush and Mitch McConnell. Jennings calls impeachment out for what it is.
From the article:
Let's be honest. The
Democrats were always going to do this. From the minute we realized on
election night that Donald Trump had won, they began fantasizing about nullifying the election results.Indeed, in the weeks leading up to the 2016 election, the Democrats'
biggest concern was that Trump would not accept the outcome -- a
Hillary Clinton win, of course! -- of which they were quite certain.
And
as it turns out, it was the Democrats who had no intention of accepting
it. How odd that they have again become what they claim to detest about
Trump.
Frankly I'm surprised that Jennings said this (I've always assumed he was just a RINO.) He makes nice points like this throughout the whole piece.
For example:
So here we are with our partisan vote Thursday to approve a resolution
setting rules for impeachment, and the process now underway at the
direction of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. For months, Democrat talking
heads portrayed Pelosi as a reluctant participant in this charade,
someone who was restraining her party's most stridently anti-Trump
elements. Poppycock. In my view, she was destined to do this, and this
Ukrainian business was simply her last chance before voters began
casting ballots in the 2020 election.
I think he's right here; Pelosi was going to do this thing. It was just a matter of appearing statemenlike. Much like Caesar eschewing the crown three times, Pelosi was against impeachment before she was for it.
Here's another good point:
The most vocal Trump haters frequently
bemoan the lack of "profiles in courage" among Republicans, demanding
that someone -- anyone -- defy their party to impeach the President.
I
might ask: where is the Democratic profile in courage, someone willing
to stand up to Nancy Pelosi and call the House impeachment what it is:
a norm-obliterating, kangaroo court, run by a party that apparently has
little confidence in its ability to beat Trump in the next election?
Frankly, if the Democrats and media don't hate you you aren't doing your job properly. That's why I have no use for guys like Mitt Romney. They hated "Walter" Mitt when he ran for President, but they love them so Mittens now! Why? Because he's turned all Benedict Arnold on us.
