Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
“It’s really a sad day for our country. I feel very sad right now.” – Nancy Pelosi
Oh, yeah, it really is a sad day for our country, San Fran Nan. – The saddest part of all of it is that many of us have known all along that the deranged, despicable, depraved Democrats would take the country down this road sooner or later since the day after Donald J. Trump was elected to the presidency. Every step the Democrat Party has taken, from the creation and funding of Antifa, to the efforts to entrap and frame a sitting President of the United States, to the Mueller Witch Hunt, to the Congressional Clown Circus led by Jabaa the Nadler and Bug Eyes Schiff, has obviously and overtly been designed to lead to yesterday’s crowning moment of shame.
We all knew the depraved Democrat Party would take the nation to this sorry point sooner or later, even though it has still never been able to find any actual legal basis for doing so. We knew this would happen because the Democrat Party no longer has any interest in governing under our constitutional republican system of government, and only cares about the acquisition and maintenance of political power.
This reality has been the case since at least 1992, but has never been rendered more nakedly obvious than it has since the Democrats and San Fran Nan assumed power in the House of Representatives on January 1 of this year. The Judiciary and Intelligence committees chaired by Nadler and Schiff, along with the Oversight committee chaired by the equally depraved Elijah Cummings, have yet to spend a moment of time on any real work for the public interest during the first 9 months of this year, instead maintaining a myopic focus on dummying up some pretense – any old pretense would do – to move towards impeachment of the President.
But here’s the funniest part of yesterday’s antics by Pelosi: Despite all the weasel words she spoke in her statement late in the afternoon, nothing real changed. Pelosi said this:

The only problem here is that an “official impeachment inquiry” has no meaning under the constitution and the law. Pelosi knows that, which is why she used those specific words, and made no reference to mounting a formal impeachment inquiry via a vote of the full House, which would have some meaning under the law.
See, the speaker of the house has no power whatsoever to unilaterally declare a formal impeachment inquiry. None. Doing that requires a majority vote of the entire body of the House. That would mean San Fran Nan would have to somehow cobble together 217 actual, recorded “yes” votes on the floor of the House.
Given that the Democrats currently control 235 seats to 198 (2 seats are vacant) for the Republicans, one might think getting to a simple majority would be an easy task for the doddering, stammering Speaker. But one would be surprised for holding that thought.
Pelosi’s big problem in all of this is that she has 35 or so members who managed to steal districts in the 2018 elections normally held by Republicans. Few if any of those folks, who would like to get re-elected in those same districts next year and been working hard to fool their constituents into believing they are “moderates,” are willing to go on the record as formally supporting a formal impeachment inquiry targeting a Republican president when there are no real grounds for going down that radical road.
So, just as with everything else she and her fellow Democrats do, yesterday’s theatrics by Pelosi were just that: Theater. Dishonest theater. Nothing real will change – those committees will just keep doing what they’ve been doing all year.
The only thing that will change will be the talking points parroted by the Democrat toady media, which will henceforth parrot the words “official impeachment inquiry,” peppering them into every report they make. This is how the mass public brainwashing process works – repetition of key messages is crucial. Goebbels and his fellow Nazis called it the “big lie.”
If you don’t believe that’s what the Democrats are doing here, read this morning’s piece in Politico titled “Vulnerable Democrats fear impeachment messaging stumbles” and count the number of times Democrat members quoted in the piece focus on “messages.” In that 600 or so word piece, I count 15 references to “messages,” “messaging,” “talking points,” or some other iteration of those words. It’s pretty much all they talk about.
The Democrats are very desperate here, because their mass brainwashing efforts keep failing. As of yesterday, President Trump’s public approval rating in the Rasmussen survey stood at 53%, a two-year high and fully 6 points higher than the rating received by Barack Hussein Obama at the same point in his presidency 8 years ago. Trump’s standing in the RealClearPolitics average, which includes all the fake polls created by media outlets purely to drive fake news stories, stands at 45.1%, also a two-year high.
The truth is that Donald Trump is a very popular president when compared to his immediate predecessors in office, Obama and George W. Bush, and his base of support, which represents over 40% of the nation, is steadfastly loyal. Making matters even more desperate for the Democrat “leadership,” such as it exists, is the fact that all the Marxist/fascist promises made by the radicals running for their presidential nomination are backfiring, especially in those swing congressional districts.
The President is going to release the transcript of his call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky today, along with the complaint by the Democrats’ fake “whistleblower,” an Obama loyalist who has no first-hand knowledge of that conversation. That fake whistleblower will also testify before Bug Eyes and his committee in the coming days.
The transcript will no doubt prove the President said nothing wrong, but the fake media and their Democrat masters will do everything they can to spin it otherwise, or even better, to claim the transcript has been somehow “doctored.” Despicable media hacks at MSNBC and CNN were laying the groundwork for those tactics yesterday.
Make no mistake about this: Regardless of the ongoing brainwashing efforts by the Democrat/Media propaganda complex, if the Democrats move down this road and end up holding a successful impeachment vote in the House, Democrats in those swing districts will pretty much all lose their re-election bids. Any Republican who joins an effort to remove the President via a 2/3rds vote in the Senate will be writing the end to his or her political career. There will be no forgiveness for such a despicable act of sedition, nor should there be.
Finally, should the Senate end up removing the President from office absent any real grounds for doing so, then the social contract between the public and the entire ruling class, already hanging on by a mere thread, will have been severed. If that sad day should come to pass, all bets for our nation’s survival in its current form will be off.
That is all.
As author DB explains, dems in the house--despite a comfortable majority--don't have the votes and don't dare ask for a vote for fear of losing and putting vulnerables in jeopardy along with her speakership. DJT will double dare, and ignore them until then. Great theatre.
After all, quieting the Squad & other commies, was the only way she can avoid being deposed as Speaker mid-term.
the Congressional Clown Circus led by Jabaa the Nadler and Bug Eyes Schiff
Intelligence committees chaired by Nadler and Schiff, along with the Oversight committee chaired by the equally depraved Elijah Cummings, have yet to spend a moment of time on any real work for the public interest.
Oh please. The country has survived rebellions, depressions, and two other impeachments. It will survive this.
The Brown Shirt Media has really screwed up. They keep talking about how Trump won’t be re-elected because “his numbers are so bad”. Yet they have let Trump essentially run not against a Democrat but against THEM. And their numbers are single digits.
That fake whistleblower will also testify before Bug Eyes and his committee in the coming days.
“In order to start a formal inquiry WRT impeachment, it requires a house vote.”
You are exactly right. It begs the question then, what is the next step for the demokraps? Won’t they be compelled eventually to hold a vote in the full House to move forward?
Since they have “0”, it seems that all they can do now is use Congressional subpoena power to try to “go fishing” in the Executive branch... praying that something will come up. Even a scintilla of a scintilla of “wrongdoing” would allow a demokrap impeachment lawyer egged on 24/7 by the media outlets to convert it into a mountain of impeachable crap. If this doesn’t happen, well before Nov 2020, then what?
POTUS gave a significant speech at the UN yesterday, and it has been wiped out of the news cycle by a fake Congressional impeachment inquiry. Maybe the WH goads the demokraps to bring it to a full vote by calling it a fake impeachment inquiry.
“[demokraps] have yet to spend a moment of time on any real work for the public interest.”
It begs the question, when have they ever done that? Not in my lifetime.
Damn, you are a long winded bastard. But you’re correct. This latest round of rat party hyperventilating is a lie, yet very calculated by pelosi. This too will fail.
No question......Pelosi’s “inquiry” was a Hail Mary pass.
She actually said the move was to stop Trump from being elected.
She’s praying something will fall out of the sky to give the Dems traction for 2020.
Pete - I don’t know if Trump planned this. He seems to have good instincts and doing what is best for the US is a bedrock principle for him . Unlike obozo and bj clinton, Trump is holding the cards of truth - and he knows the truth of the matter.
Nonetheless, no matter what he says or does, the demokraps will never rest, even when confronted with the truth because at the moment, there is no penalty for their evil, untruthful speech and behavior.
If we are going to have politicians so abuse the process and authority we've vested in them and they are attacking the electoral process, taking money from the chinese through facade donors, turning our intelligence apparatus against us, shaming us in to disarming, preventing us from building a protective wall, taxing us so we hardly have a minute to notice there none stop war against American individualism and liberty.
This is an ancient struggle cast in a modern context I think people need to start accepting the fact this doesn't end nicely in fact its about get ugly.
Turn to Christ my brothers and sisters its game time. They are coming for us - president Trump is just in the way, it's time they see we've got his back bigly
I like the cut of your jib sailor .
Go with God.
Then Pelosi is effectively using the powers / processes of a branch of government to influence an upcoming Presidential election? That is an abuse of government power.
She better get specific fast on what the high crimes and misdemeanors have been committed. Unfortunately, it is up to the voters to un-elect this cabal, but I am skeptical with all the gerrymandering that would ever happen significantly.
It’s scheduled for tomorrow. Thursday.
Intelligence committees chaired by Nadler and Schiff, along with the Oversight committee chaired by the equally depraved Elijah Cummings, have yet to spend a moment of time on any real work for the public interest.
Besides some judges what have the Republicans done except push the globalist agenda?
Today will be a fun day.
Keep your eyes and ears open.
What will happen today will be “real and spectacular “.
