BREAKING: Senate impeachment trial extended to WEDNESDAY

Democrats leadership are the most corrupt politicians in the history of our country and we the people are being abused by them. Every time our country makes significant success the Dems are here to ruin that. They were well aware that when President Trump won in 2016 our country will get stronger. They didn’t have any political results so they push for a plain simple witch hunt against our President. Democrats have been searching for ways to impeach President Donald Trump since before he was elected, a Democratic congressman Al Green (D-Texas) said in early January, and the Ukraine situation...

As the Senate appears to move towards acquitting President Donald Trump on two articles of impeachment, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused to rule out further action to hold the president accountable. Pelosi was questioned on whether the House would attempt to compel former National Security Adviser John Bolton to testify in the lower chamber should the Senate trial end without his testimony. "This is in the Senate now," Pelosi, D-Calif., said, holding onto optimism that the upper chamber would call on witnesses. "I hope and I pray that the senators can handle the truth and listen to not only John...

Rep. Adam Schiff had one job. All Schiff and his fellow House managers had to do were to present their case for the impeachment of President Trump before the U.S. Senate, and the American public. Instead of bringing a few senators onto his side, especially on the idea of calling witnesses, Schiff angered the GOP senators with his reference to the “heads on a pike” news story. As Allahpundit wrote about on Friday, CBS News reported on an alleged story of a confidant of President Trump asserting the threat that if Republican senators voted against the president, they would...

"""CBS, ABC & NBC–All Regulated By The FCC–Are NOT Giving Equal Time To Trump’s Defense Team As They Did To The Dem Prosecutors Last Week """ BLACKOUT: CBS, ABC & NBC–all regulated by the FCC–are NOT giving equal time to covering lawyers arguing in defense of Trump in front of Senate now, as they did last week when they covered Schiff & Dem prosecutors arguing for Trump’s removal in wall-to-wall preemptive coverage. And it seems that this “witch hunt” is no more interesting for the American citizens too. At least for Trump’s supporters. The Associated Press reported Monday that Americans...

Senate Impeachment Trial LIVE - day 6

Who is to blame for the impeachment of President Trump? It has to be either Trump or the House that impeached him. Or maybe a combination of the two.But the Washington Post’s Dana Milbank claims that, somehow, the “mess” is Chief Justice Roberts’s fault. Milbank is the Post’s clown prince. He’ll say anything, usually with as much snark as he can muster, to try to score a point against one of his boogeymen — a class that includes anyone who stands against his leftism.In this case, Milbank has outdone himself.Why is the U.S. Chief Justice responsible for the impeachment mess?...

Today, a month after they were passed out of the House, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) signed articles of impeachment against President Trump. The articles aren't being officially received by the Senate until tomorrow, but that didn't stop House Democrats from squeezing as many photo ops out of the occasion as possible. Many in the media could hardly contain their good fortune to have a "front-row seat to history," as CNN's Wolf Blitzer put it. As Pelosi signed the articles — using a series of pens, so she could distribute them as keepsakes — MSNBC's Chris Matthews commented on her saying...

The three stooges of the House just tried to tie Russia to the re-election of President Trump! They invoked the Constitution in their comments too. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! The impeachment coup continues with a press conference this morning where Pelosi announced her 7 impeachment managers: Impeachment managers for US Senate trial are Reps. Nadler, Schiff, Crow, Demings, Jeffries, Lofgren and Sylvia Garcia. What is more important is the fact that the three Democrats who spoke inferred that this was an “urgent” matter because Trump is “cheating in the next election”…Does anyone believe this??? Pelosi: “This is about the Constitution of...

Former Bill Clinton press secretary Joe Lockhart, a CNN analyst, apologized for making up a story about two Republican senators discussing the impeachment trial against President Donald Trump. Lockhart posted a fictional story on social media on Jan. 22 that included no disclaimer. The news analyst claimed that he overheard a conversation between two GOP senators who only watch Fox News. “‘Is this stuff real? I haven’t heard any of this before. I thought it was all about a server. If half the stuff Schiff is saying is true, we’re up [expletive] creek. Hope the White House has exculpatory evidence,”...

The Democrats sent their elite brain trust to the Senate Floor on Tuesday to push their sham impeachment against President Donald Trump. Tuesday’s hearing lasted for hours as Democrats continued to push amendment after amendment begging Republicans to call witnesses they did not have the nerve to subpoena during their investigation in the US House. Several Americans were viewing the hearing online and on YouTube. That’s when Google-YouTube stepped in and blocked two prominent conservative feeds! Tom Fitton reported that YouTube took down the Judicial Watch feed. And the popular pro-Trump website Right Side Broadcasting Network had their feed taken...

RUSH: The Democrats now have 24 hours to make their case, two 12-hour days, ’cause the first day, the rules debate was yesterday. Twenty-four hours. Have you ever heard of any criminal trial with an opening argument, an opening statement of a week or four days. Twenty-four hours. And here’s the rub. They don’t have a case. They don’t have a crime. They don’t have an impeachable offense. And yet they’re going to take 24 hours to present what they are going to try to convince people are crimes and impeachingable offenses. I don’t know how people are gonna put...
