Realizing that the post-presidential impeachment is a waste of time and their reputation, Democrats are scrambling to save face with some sort of punishment for his ever being president.
Axios reported, "Sens. Tim Kaine and Susan Collins are privately pitching their colleagues on a bipartisan resolution censuring former President Trump, three sources familiar with the discussions tell Axios.
"Why it matters: Senators are looking for a way to condemn Trump on the record as it becomes increasingly unlikely Democrats will obtain the 17 Republican votes needed to gain a conviction in his second impeachment.
"What we're hearing: Some Democrats are interested only if at least 10 GOP senators publicly commit to a censure, thus ensuring the 60-vote margin needed to pass major legislation in the chamber."
Censure.
I doubt 10 Republican senators are dumb enough to go along with it because censure sounds too much like censor. As the Internet Oligarchs continue to abuse their power, Americans are rediscovering their opposition to censorship.
And censure underscores how weak the impeachment case is. The House demanded the death penalty to his political career and wound up with a parking ticket.
Censure is not even that. It is a warning not to do that again.
If they are going to be ineffectual, why not put him on double-secret probation?
Place it on his permanent record.
Inform his draft board.
Rand Paul gave these oafs an out when he moved to not accept the impeachment because the time had run out. This would have given Democrats a way not only to save face but also to punish him. By accepting the de facto statute of limitations on impeachment, they could have proclaimed his guilt from here to eternity.
That would have satisfied their fans while avoiding the incredible loss they are facing.
But Democrat senators are too stupid for their own good.
They are stuck with what seems to be an inevitable acquittal because the Capitol Incident is now news so old it could be delivered by newspapers. Remember those?
This is a reversal of fortune for Donald John Trump because he emerges as a winner who has defeated impeachment. Again. He will become the only president to have ever beaten an impeachment twice.
By losing twice, Democrats are a joke. Their incompetence underscores the claim that the only way they won in November was by massive fraud because, without cheating, they are losers who cannot outsmart The Donald.
This pleases his supporters who, face it, have not had much to cheer about during Chairman Xiden's very dark winter, as he called it.
As President Trump rests in Mar-A-Lago this winter, he has to straighten out his business. (I would sell off what property I could.) He also is making plans for 2024.
Democrats already handed him a slogan.
Make Them Impeach Him Again.
I doubt 10 Republican senators are dumb enough to go along with it.
ReplyDeleteYou have more faith than I do, bro.
Depends on how many yuan, Ed!
DeleteYes, I worry too.
DeleteBut let's hope for the best! It would be totally idiotic with no upside for a Repub to go along with censure ... hmmm, I'm getting worried again ...
Love the slogan. And today's market signals the arrival of Susan Rice's harm to the economy.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if some reality is sinking in on Wall Street. As I mentioned yesterday, I was reading some insider (really) Wall Street analysis on Monday. It basically took the tack that all we need is lots of "stimulus" money and the Fed keeping interest rates at basically zero... and everything will be great!
DeleteNothing about the war on energy, such as stopping Keystone XL and stopping oil/gas leasing operations on federal land. I don't even want to ponder the damage that will cause - and how throwing tens of thousands of people out of their jobs in those areas... won't exactly contribute to social stability (let alone financial stability).
Lenin famously said "The worse, the better!" These clowns may soon find themselves facing the sharp end of that type of spear...
Submitted for your consideration. Instead of waiting for 2024 DJT runs for the House of Representatives in 2022. Upon taking his seat, he could announce he was running for speaker and win. This would cause much weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth among the wokeholes.
ReplyDeleteMembership in the House is not an actual legal prerequisite for being elected Speaker. You just have to have a majority of the membership vote to hand you the gavel.
DeleteThis is a true statement and would be yet another unconventional twist in the career of President Trump. It would be a great thing.
DeleteThe only other ex-president to win a House seat was John Quincy Adams, who distinguished himself as an abolitionist.
DeleteI like the shock-and-awe value of the GOP retaking the House in 2022... and then voting for non-House-member PDJT to be Speaker.
DeleteThat would be just wonderful...
John Tyler was elected to the Confederate Congress.
DeleteThey should give up on censure and vote to call Trumps mommy a poopoo-head.
ReplyDeleteAWWWW, yo mama! DASS RIGHT, I said yo mama!!
DeleteThe hard line Dems will fight for a teetee poopoo head.
DeleteAnd Elizabeth "Fauxcahontas" Warren wants it to be a TEEPEE poopoo head...
DeleteI wouldn't hold in my hand what comes out of your mouth. That was uttered to me and my friends at Beach Week 1975 in Daytona Beach by a woman/mom. I've been waiting all this time to repeat it...not really, I've used it extensively!!!
DeleteThat is funny, thanks I needed that!
DeleteThat is funny, thanks I needed that!
DeleteThat is funny, thanks I needed that!
DeleteAh, but what if they have the guilty/not-guilty vote using mail-in ballots?
ReplyDeleteIt's Dems so gthey will end up counting until they get a conviction, even if the total number of votes is more than 100% of the eligible voters.
DeleteThe second impeachment has been like history repeating itself, the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.
ReplyDeleteLol. True.
DeleteWe get up at twelve and start to work at one
ReplyDeleteTake an hour for lunch and then at two we're done
Jolly good fun!
The lid was called at 2:05 today.
That late?

ReplyDeleteThe best thing about these follies is that they have dissipated the clouds of doom and gloom hanging over us since the election was stolen. President Trump is not quitting politics, but is now out to remake the Republican Party in his MAGA image. As he is a results oriented businessman, I am confident he will succeed.
ReplyDelete"I can't spare this man. He fights." (Abraham Lincoln on why he refused to dismiss Ulysses Grant from Union service.)
DeleteWe can't spare PDJT - he fights.
And while there is nothing there yet, he has his new web site up:
https://www.45office.com .
I still like the idea of starting MAGA rallies up again on the date that the Republic was founded - March 4th. March forth on March Fourth! MAGA!
Got the site saved... C'mon content!
DeleteDon, I don’t get at all your comments at the end -
ReplyDelete“[Trump] has to straighten out his business. (I would sell off what property I could.)”
Donald Trump doesn’t have to do a damn thing. He’s done more than any American over the last 33 years to elevate the standard of living of average hard working Americans.
He doesn’t need to straighten out anything he doesn’t want to; and he doesn’t need to sell any property he doesn’t want to.
What you “would do” if you were Donald Trump is one of the most ignorant things I have seen written in a while.
Since you like to give advice, how about you take some advice.
Get your blog off of Google-owner Blogger. It pisses me off that I need to have a Google account to comment on this site.
You make like to do business with CCP loving Google, but I don’t want any part of them.
You can tell me to pound sand, but geesh dude, you’re giving financial advice to Donald Trump, your the one who needs to check your ego.
Susie, Donald Trump has had to take a four year absence from his business affairs. Now the banks are applying cancel culture to him. So, yes, he needs to take some time to straighten out his business. Remember, even his kids were helping run the country and help the world. What our Don wrote is sound advice. Selling now gives him leverage against the bankers.
DeleteDon is not a man I would go to for investment advice based on his comments.
DeleteBut "buy low, sell high" is a good rule. Assuming Trump is in this range of course.
Susie is astute. Way better than the cabal of cucks that infest this blog.
Don’t suppose you’re including yourself with that remark. Big Jake you do love yourself
DeleteReally impressive post. I read it whole and going to share it with my social circules. I enjoyed your article and planning to rewrite it on my own blog.

ReplyDeleteAnd they'll never be able to forget this.
I agree. Previously the last image was the insurrection as spun by the media. Now the last image is the really stupid impeachment, while the poor worker bees still can’t get the money as Biden promised
