Unforced error by Schiff pisses off Murkowski and others

"Vote against the President and your head will be on a pike".

______

There was audible grumbling and cries of “not true” heard by reporters in the gallery. Schiff managed to alienate Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) one of the few Republicans whom Democrats and the media believe are persuadable on impeachment.

“CBS News reported last night that a Trump confidante said that GOP senators were warned ‘vote against your President, vote against the President and your head will be on a pike’. I don’t know if that’s true: ‘Vote against the president and your head will be on a pike’.

I have to say when I read that, and again I don’t know if that’s true, but when I read that I was struck by the irony, by the irony. I hope it’s not true, I hope it’s not true. But I was struck by the irony of the idea when we’re talking about a president who would make himself a monarch, that whoever that was would use the terminology of a penalty that was imposed by a monarch: a head on a pike.”

That also explains why his eyes bug out.

I suspect his eyes are bugged out because the air pressure has to go somewhere when he bites the pillow so hard.

Grahamnesty is an attorney, as is his colleague Schitt. It goes without saying they’re both GD shameless liars. It’s “professional ethics.”

Basically, Schiff is a disgrace and Graham should should show some semblance of dignity and act accordingly.

Problem is they probably both frequent the same bath houses and pass the same boys around. Linda doesn't want pencil neck spilling the beans on him.

Someone should scream at Schiff that she was only 20

The boys were children

How much were you paid to say those things?

What’s your connection to Russia and Ukraine?

How many died because of you?

Shiftless actually believes there is some member of the #eneMedia who has real sources “close to the administration?” Doesn’t he know almost every story citing anonymous inside sources is 100% made up?

I actually don’t want Roberts to do anything. He stepped out of line with his on admonishment but after 12 hours of listening to all the back and forth it’s understandable.

This little son of a bitch and his party have put the heads of 52 million little human being on a pike. And worse. And the have desecrated the very order of human life and the beauty of the God ordained family. Such outrageous lies and evil speech will never go unpunished. Detached from G-d’s holy Law and and driven by hatred for Righteousness, the Left is beyond redemption; they don’t want it. This is an irreversible, antinomian, Blind Haterd that is driving them to spit in the face of their own Creator. The blind are leading the blind and they will pull the whole world into the pit of filth and death if they are not defeated. But, take heart, you righteous ones; gird up your loins and man up. For the L-rd your G-d is with you. He will be with us in the Battle.

That Schiff referenced it IMO all but proves the quote is a Dem-supplied fabrication - as I suspected.

The last thing they should do is congratulate Schitt on a job well done as Graham did.

They should lead this morning by calling for his resignation. It would be time well spent.

I am seeing the House say, it does not matter who the people vote for President, the House is going to pick the President.

The way it seems it should work, the media should push the political side of things, call into question the GOP Senater’s objectivity, the president’s actions, will Schiff and company make their case. The moment you talk about this stuff, now its is on you to prove it actually happened.

Schitt says this outlandish thing — an actual THREAT — and not a peep from Roberts. However, he had no problem scolding BOTH sides when RATs got out of control the other day.

House is going to pick the President.

If this impeachment were to work, and its not, the legislature and executive branch would meld and be converted into a quasi parliamentary system.

That is the European way. Nancy Pelosi is the real American leader. She has the power of the people. She is in fact the prime minister.

She gave out pens when she signed the articles

The American left and Democrats worship the European socialism and have never had an original idea. The whole Democrat agenda is modified European governance

There can be no coexistence. They must be destroyed
