I would believe a newspaper from across the globe before I would believe the Salt Lake Lying Tribune or Rat Romney...

They both lie, they both are rotten and the newspaper and Rat are ‘owned by the Church and Deep State’ so believe what you want, I live here in Utah and we don’t like the Trib nor do we like the lying carpetbagging Rat...nor his friends, Lee; McMuffin; or anyone else who has anything to do with either of them...

I used to say that Rush wrote the GOP talking points and Hannity read them...

But over the years Rush has begun to diverge from the establishment more and more. And Hannity has too.

I don’t watch Hannity, he doesn’t know how to shut up and let his guests break an important story or make an important point, its beyond annoying... But his views are much more independent of the establishment than they once were.

Rush is careful with reporting facts. On the very rare occasion that he gets something wrong, he issues a prominent correction.

Rush is a square.

You and me both FRiend. Frankly, most of what the right talking heads do, is exactly what the left talking heads do. It’s meant to play on emotions, enrage, divide, and earn themselves and their sponsors money.

That’s NOT what Rush said. He said that Romney ‘assured’ Pelosi that there is enough Republican support to ‘remove’ Trump. Rush also commented that he didn’t think Romney meant that there was enough to ‘convict’ Trump. It was just the opposite of what this writer is alleging.

Preaching to the choir to make money. That’s it. If you listen to the talking heads for fifteen minutes you will not need to listen again for a month or so They simply beat a dead horse day in and day out...

Mitt could clear it up by going on CNN and MSNBC and saying he won’t vote to impeach Trump. Something tells me he won’t be doing that.

Given the choice between Rush and a slimy lib paper?
Especially a paper from the city and state that elected that slimy two-faced backstabbing RINO?

Give me a break!

Read the headline and then read the story. The headline says Rush said the senate would convict but the body of the story states that Rush said there were not enough to convict. Given what is in print we know the paper is lying. GIven that they did not link the available audio it means their likely lying.

Williams.....I sooooo agree with your assessment of limbaugh......he reads stories and makes it sound like he’s got secret info and for drama adds .... ‘don’t doubt me’.....and he does the .. oh and did you hear....and then reads a headline like he’s getting secret info....he’s got the act down tight and he does the...I don’t want to make the show about myself and then turns right around and makes it about himself!.....and....off topic..but...hannity always claims that he investigates things and gives his audience the facts.....for the last couple of days he’s been saying that Whitey Bulger’s son was caught up in the Ukraine nonsense....it was NOT Whitey’s son, it’s his nephew...I’ve been tweeting hannity and telling him and he just keeps repeating the misinformation....makes me wonder what else he tells his audience that isn’t fact based that he claims is truth.

Jeff Flake said there are 30 Senators who would convict if the vote were secret.

Romney said he was concerned by the phone transcript.

It's possible that both stories were discussed on the same show, and this is agitprop to conflate the two.

That said, I wouldn't mind it if Limbaugh took a page from the leftist playbook and threw out a few "unproven" claims against some of our own, just to make them respond.

Remember, the rules now are to say anything loudly and frequently, and then issue a correction quietly later. So have at it -- say that Romney told Pelosi he's with her. Say that Nadler knowingly lied. Say that Schiff knowingly lied. Say that Durbin colluded with Ukrainians to entrap Trump.

Say it, say it loudly, say it frequently, and make them come out and address it.

If they complain, then ask why should a Congressman or a Senator be held to a higher bar than the President?

That is their obvious last ditch play. Everything is headed to a US Seante betrayal of the Americam Founders and the American people. They will try to take control of the military from Trump with these false charges and false conviction. That is why the US Senate Rinos said nothing when they should have been scolding Nancy with an ultimatum.

You can step back and see the entire project. The pee Dossier used to create fales Russian charges. These combined with vote fraud loses all of California and the US House. The the Intel communities secretly change laws and charge the President via whistleswapping. The only way they can stop Trump ‘legally’ is a Senate betrayal on impeachment.

Exacty. If I have to choose between a Newspaper and the RINO Carpetbagger Romney and Rush. The matter takes a mere fraction of a second. I choose to believe Rush.

I am sure Rush will address this issue on Monday.
