These goalposts have moved


Friday night, Robin Biro mentioned something that few in the Agenda Media have talked about. He talked about "Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania" as battleground states. That's the truth. Those 4 states are battleground states. Then Biro, a former Barack Obama campaign director, said in a serious tone that those states were once part of Hillary's blue firewall. That's quite a transformation.

If Democrats are fighting to hold Minnesota, they're in trouble. If Democrats are fighting to flip Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin back into the Democrats' column, they're praying for a miracle. Considering the fact that there's no sign that they're trying to win back blue collar workers, Democrats might as well wish for a herd of unicorns.

According to Glenn Reynolds , this isn't surprising:

If President Donald Trump is re-elected next November, he'll owe a lot of his victory to the army of activists working tirelessly to put him over the top. No, I'm not talking about the red-hatted MAGA crowd, tireless as they are. I'm talking about the army of leftist activists whose nonstop craziness is moving moderates into the Trump column day by day.

Democrats are their own worst enemy. First, they unanimously rejected the Trump/GOP tax cuts. Immediately after the tax cuts passed, the economy took off like a supersonic jet. That wasn't too bright. Next, Adam Schiff continuously insisted that President Trump had conspired with Russia to defeat Hillary. When the Mueller Report said that he hadn't, they were in deeper hot water.

Finally, Schiff's Democrats pushed their impeachment hearings down America's throats without evidence or even an identifiable crime. Back in their districts, they're getting an earful:

With cash pouring into the RNC, expect the RNC to put out lots of ads highlighting the fact that Democrats haven't gotten anything done. If Democrats don't turn legislation into signed laws, President Trump will campaign against Pelosi's "Do-Nothing Democrats" until Election Day.

The extreme left and their loyal followers will cut off their noses to spite their face. They have to know that none, NONE of what the extreme left candidates is peddling will ever come true but they just can't stand the fact the DJT beat them, they have to vote to spite their best interests.


Democrats' intentional unfairness


One thing that isn't in question is whether House Democrats, starting with Chairman Schiff, (D-Calif.), rigged the rules to ensure an unfair impeachment process. Something that Chairman Schiff repeatedly made clear was that the CIA snitch's identity would remain cloaked in anonymity. That's foolishness. Eric Ciaramella's identity will become known at some point.

Much bandwidth has been used to talk about the Sixth Amendment and whether its protections extend to impeachment hearings and trials. The simple answer is this: they do if the House and Senate write those protections into their impeachment rules. Ditto with federal rules of evidence. There's nothing in the Constitution that prohibits these considerations from getting written into the House or Senate rules.

There are, however, partisan reasons why Democrats wouldn't write the federal rules of evidence into their rules. Ditto with omitting Sixth Amendment protections from their rules. The simple explanation is that Democrats didn't insist on applying the federal rules of evidence into their hearings because those rules would utterly gut their case. Without hearsay testimony, the Democrats' storyline collapses immediately. Remember this hearsay:

If that doesn't qualify as hearsay, nothing does. WOW! Then there's Mike Turner's cross-examination of Ambassador Sondland :

Rep. Mike Turner: No one on this planet told you that President Trump was tying aid to investigations. Yes or no?
Ambassador Sondland: Yes.
Rep. Mike Turner: So, you really have no testimony today that ties President Trump to a scheme to withhold aid from Ukraine in exchange for these investigations?
Ambassador Sondland: Other than my own presumption .
Rep. Mike Turner: Which is nothing.

By not excluding hearsay testimony, each testifier was able to provide a juicy-sounding soundbite to the Agenda Media, which then dutifully splashed that "bombshell" across their website all day. The Agenda Media didn't care that the soundbite got ripped to shreds on cross-examination. They had their juicy-sounding headline, their click-bait.

Democrats understood that, in these impeachment hearings, hearsay was their friend. Democrats understood that because their case was exceptionally weak. Had Democrats been interested in fairness, they wouldn't have put the nation through this. That wasn't their mission. The Democrats' mission was to utterly demolish the president they've hated since he was elected.

That's why Democrats approved the rules they approved.

Democrats understood that the CIA snitch would get ripped to pieces the minute his identity was confirmed, too. Without hearsay testimony, which got started with the CIA snitch, the Democrats don't have anything. They have nice-sounding testimony from people with impressive resumes but they don't have the evidence they'd need to win a high-profile case like this.

Democrats wanted this impeachment so badly that they'd do anything for it. In the final summation, that sums things up best. Democrats wanted this so bad that they ignored the needs of the country.

How sick is that?

How was the snitch er I mean whistleblower getting death threats if no one knew who he was, not even Schiff for brains? This whole thing is a bad circus and the democrats know it but can't stop now.
