PJ Media: The Top Seven Lies Adam Schiff Has Told to Boost Impeachment
Posted by: charger || 01/23/2020 00:00 || Comments || Link || [5 views] Top|| File under:

#1  Wouldn't it be simpler to catalog Schiff's statements that are not a lie?
Posted by: g(r)omgoru || 01/23/2020 1:27 Comments || Top||

#2  I'm so f---ing sick of this buffoon. Bring this nonsense to a swift conclusion. Enough of this madness.

#3  Somewhere there is a picture of Perry Mason doing a classic face-palm.
Posted by: M. Murcek || 01/23/2020 7:35 Comments || Top||

#4  This clown needs to be ousted from the House along with the rest of these clowns who dragged the country through this orchestrated Dem power play and obstructed real justice and the business of the country for 3 years. 3 yrs plus 4 more yrs makes it 7 more yrs for Trump.
Posted by: JohnQC || 01/23/2020 9:35 Comments || Top||

#5  JohnQC, unfortunately, it doesn't matter at all if every single person in the US outside of Schiff's district hates him and wants him out of office. As long as a majority of his constituents like enough to vote for him, he will stay in Congress. l

#6  Says quite a bit about his district.

Is there legal recourse to remove him from office for his complicity in furthering this continuing coup?
Posted by: JohnQC || 01/23/2020 10:25 Comments || Top||

#7  You make the bug-eyed pencil-necked liar the true face of the Democrats in purple-district campaign and you can push them back into the minority.

San Fran Shitshow-Stan's Commie-Fan Lawman Merges With Perps & Purges City's Wyatt Earps
[AmericanThinker] When Kimberly Guilfoyle
...now Donald Trump, Jr’s girlfriend, but previously a prosecutor in the San Francisco DA’s office, then married to San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom, so she knows the territory...
talks about goings-on in the San Francisco District Attorney's Office, she speaks as an insider, not an outside reporter. That's why an opinion piece she wrote for the San Francisco Chronicle, warning about the city's new district attorney, Chesa Boudin, needs to be taken seriously.

Most people in America have already been made aware of the fact that Boudin is the son of convicted Marxist murderers and that radical Leftists (and Obama mentors) Bill Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn raised him. That hard-left upbringing means that Boudin believes in "decarceral justice."

Decarceral justice is the claim that the system criminalizes conduct that flows from poverty, not evil, and that people end up in prison because the system serves only the rich. In Boudin's case, decarceral justice means announcing that he will not prosecute lifestyle crimes (e.g., public drug use, low-level drug-dealing, soliciting sex, living on the streets, urinating and defecating on the streets).

What people outside San Francisco missed is that, to effect these new policies, Boudin purged the D.A.'s office, getting rid of prosecutors who have the most experience in dealing with homicides, gangs, and felonies:

I'm not willing to to cut them slack by assuming that this is anything less than malevolent intent.

#9  ^ True, agreed.

This is just traditional subversion by a lefty who's mother and her friends were well-schooled in such arts. The Weathermen, Black Panthers and other radicals have nothing in common with today's SS. A lot more dangerous.

Ralph Northam is demonizing gun owners to distract from his racist past
h/t Instapundit
[Washington Examiner] - Ralph Northam, Virginia’s Democratic governor, declared a public emergency despite knowing there were no grounds for doing so. The governor, who recently overcame his history of racism to hang on to his current elected office, did this in his typically cynical fashion. He invoked the 2017 Charlottesville rally organized by neo-Nazis and suggested that a gathering by law-abiding gun owners in opposition to his gun control proposals would turn out similarly.

In asserting that militia and hate groups had threatened violent acts at the rally, Northam was deliberately stoking irrational fears about what would happen Monday when gun owners converged on Richmond to protest his anti-Second Amendment agenda. When nothing bad happened at the rally, of course, Northam even had the gall to pat himself on the back for it. Such are the delusions of a man whose main goal at this point is to build a legacy comprising something other than the racist costumes on his yearbook page and the racist nickname he went by during the 1980s when he was already a full-grown adult.

Northam thinks he can change the subject by denigrating and antagonizing gun owners. After all, there is no public safety purpose to most of his gun proposals, which Monday’s rally was staged to oppose. For example, why are they trying to limit the number of outdoor gun ranges in the state? Does someone think that criminals are using them to become too accurate?

Why exactly are Virginia Democrats trying to bring back an unconstitutional "one-gun-a-month" purchase limit? And why did Northam’s Democratic minions in the state legislature, even as they advanced proven-ineffective gun control proposals, vote against a measure imposing additional penalties on those using guns to commit crimes? The unflattering truth is that Virginia Democrats want to be soft on violent criminals but, at the same time, signal their virtue by going hard on law-abiding gun owners.

#1  Just remember, gun control's roots in the US is based in racism. Dems didn't want those uppity negros to get armed.

So gun control=racism. Just like the Ralph Northam is racist!

Hunter Biden renting $12,000-per-month Hollywood home while refusing to pay child support

CNN Analyst Fabricates Quotes From GOP Senators to Smear Trump, Fox News
h/t Instapundit
[PJ] - On Wednesday afternoon, a CNN analyst cooked up a "conversation" between two Republican senators in order to smear President Donald Trump, his party, and Fox News. He later admitted to having completely fabricated the quotes, but only after The Washington Post's self-described conservative Jennifer Rubin retweeted his "report."
