On the Bidens, Schiff Opened the Door
National Reviw ^ | January 22, 2020 | Andrew C. McCarthy

Posted on 01/24/2020 5:02:52 AM PST by dalight

For an advocate, it is a coup when the judge rules that harmful testimony is excluded. But such rulings always come with a warning label: Don’t open the door. That is, don’t do anything that makes the otherwise irrelevant evidence relevant.

President Trump’s impeachment trial has a Biden door. Adam Schiff has thrown it wide open.

I accept that you can share some common interests with SOME liberals, but those are exceptional cases. Committed liberals would trample you and your family’s liberties in a heartbeat. Again, I harbor no illusions about the left and their designs on our republic. These are not people you can trust.

Four things in particular concern me about the Left:

1) Their inate ability to ignore facts, logic and the lessons of history. You simply cannot hold a rational or constructive conversation with people who have that kind of defensive mindset. Its also toxic being around such intolerant people.

2) Their lust for power and control. They want to control every aspect of our lives; which in fact they already do as their ever expanding government now has its hands in virtually everything we do. We on the other hand want liberty and freedom. You cannot reconcile those differences or ever close that gap.

3) Their disreagrd for civility, rules, our heritage, and indeed the Constitution itself. No more words are necessary here. The danger posed should be self evident.

4) Most liberals view conservatives as demented, inferior, detestable. To them we are objects to be defeated, manipulated and ruled.

The point is liberals do not respect the rights of the individual, which is the very foundation upon which our conservative beliefs rest. It is something we cherish above all else, except our religion (which the Left also generally disparages and marginalizes). I have a hard time accepting the notion that people like this can ever truely be your friends.

I have worked around and have known tons of liberals. Its funny that you never hear any of them say how proud they are to have conservative friends. Its always conservatives justifying their “friendship” with liberals.

What do you think the odds are of Hillary entering the race as the “Unifier” are? Things seem to be going according to plan for her.

“I think DJT should say to the dems, if being on the Barisma board is OK I will put my kids on the board. What could the dems say?”

“We don’t allow children of mysoginistic racists on our Board”.

Big Media would report that racists are trying to take over {Rat-controlled} pillars of society.

Seems like a waste of noise, but until ONE of our domestic enemies is arrested, I suppose it will have to do.

Any honest litigator would have a tough time disagreement with this article. He nailed it.

The Trump team is about to go “NUCLEAR” on the corruption theme.

In the next three days major bombshells will be unloaded before the country regarding corruption using USAID......Burisma, the Bidens.and yes the pay for play Clintons.

It will be a full frontal assault from Sekulow and others as to the level of corruption that is gripping the political class in Washington.

There will be NO need for the testimony from the Bidens. The withering, blistering attack will be enough to swing the votes and shutdown the whole sordid impeachment sham. The democrats will be reeling from all the details that are about to be unpacked.

The Senate can take up the investigations after Schiff and Nadler pack their bags.

You are correct that someone wants Biden out of the way....that someone is Hillary. It was her henchman, Brennan, through his tool, Ciarmella, that started this whole thing. They see it as a two-fer, damage Trump and eliminate her chief rival.

It seem their hate for Trump outweighs any loyalty to Biden. If they believed Biden could actually beat Trump then they’d behave differently.

The X-factor is what Joe knows, what dirt does he have that could destroy other D’s? My guess, he was a naive fool and really doesn’t know much about Obama & Hillary corruption, he was too busy engaging in his own. So they’ll throw him under the bus.

I wish I could believe what you said is going to happen. Color me skeptical.

Do you "know" this or hope this?

Regarding delusion busting, get the person hallucinating to agree to question all their other “arguments” once you debunk what they believe is their strongest one, then do it. But don’t get into whack a mole with them.

I don’t live in VA. I live further SOUTH! Where we don’t have these crap holes as friends. I have plenty of GOOD friends who I am completely happy having. You can go pal up with them if you desire, go for it pal. But, very soon, you may find yourself in one of their reeducation camps as you aren’t one of them, or are you?

Trump should attend the Senate during the defense presentation to force the MSM to cover that.. and he should live tweet his commentary so that they can't turn away. The Senate forbids cameras except facing the speakers.. so it will drive the MSM nuts.

Excellent.

I think the democrat nominee will come from the current cast of characters. Sanders and Warren are current senators. Biden is a former senator and VP. The only way I see somebody else currently not running for president is if the nominee had a major health event and couldn't continue to run a campaign. Donna Brazlle contemplated this after Hillary was thrown into the Scooby Do van like a sack of potatoes. Lets say Biden gets the nomination and then completely short circuits. If Sanders and Warrens poll numbers are really terrible, I could see Perez going to possibly Schumer or Pelosi. Maybe Durbin or Warner..

Thank you, Mr. Schiff. I can’t wait to see the next parody of you. I’m so glad your huberus has undone both you and Quid Pro Joe. Jail for the lot of you. Execution for the worst.

But frankly, I think the President’s lawyers are wrong. Trump should attend the Senate during the defense presentation to force the MSM to cover that.. and he should live tweet his commentary so that they can’t turn away. The Senate forbids cameras except facing the speakers.. so it will drive the MSM nuts.

I think you are right.

Why do you have to go there.. this is low. Burn off all of the people in your life that don’t agree with you.. and you will be safe in your own separate reality. This is what the Dems do.. burn off anyone who disagrees with them. Its called Cancel Culture.. and you are no better than them.

Drop it pal. You believe what you want to and I will what I want to. I am going to believe what I want. YOU do not tell me how or what to believe. You are you and I am me. End of conversation, I am bored with you. Bye!
