B-Man Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Politico‘s Andrew Desiderio attended six town halls in one day for swing-district Rep. Sean Casten (D-IL) — and discovered that voters do not like impeachment. In fact, many support President Donald Trump’s criticism of former Vice President Joe Biden. Casten defeated long-term incumbent Republican Peter Roskam last fall in the 6th congressional district of Illinois, in the far western suburbs of Chicago, as part of a nationwide Democratic sweep of suburban districts. But his left-wing policies and bare-knuckle style were never a good fit — and now he is facing pushback from constituents who are upset that he is backing Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the left in their attempt to force Trump out of office. Casten as he spoke with constituents across his district, and found that many “never thought that this particular Democrat would be leaning so forcefully into an impeachment inquiry against a Republican president.” He also noted that “Trump’s efforts to paint Biden as corrupt for trying to oust a prosecutor who at one point was investigating a company tied to his son Hunter appeared to resonate among his supporters who attended Casten’s town halls — some of whom were wearing “Make America Great Again” hats and “Trump 2020” t-shirts.” One constituent “asked Casten why he wasn’t condemning Biden’s actions.” Read the full Politico article here. . 1 1

B-Man Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Now, why oh why would Democrats want to keep interviews being held during impeachment hearings secret? Surely they want to be transparent and open with the American people, right? Especially if they’re doing all of this to protect us and the Constitution, as they’ve claimed. Oh, ouch, we can’t stop laughing. Our sides. From the Washington Examiner: Last week’s sessions weren’t just secret. They were super-secret. The first hearing, in which the witness was former Ukraine special envoy Kurt Volker, was held in what is known as a SCIF, which stands for sensitive compartmented information facility. It is a room in the Capitol built to be impervious to electronic surveillance so that lawmakers can discuss the nation’s most important secrets without fear of discovery. The second hearing, in which Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson testified, was also held in the SCIF. Were highly classified matters discussed at the Volker and Atkinson hearings? Apparently not. Neither interview was classified. And even if some classified information were involved, it would be astonishing for Democrats to believe they could attempt to remove the president on the basis of information that is not available to the public. What they’re really looking for is something to campaign on, not justice. Truth hurts. . 3
Tiberius Posted October 8, 2019 Author Posted October 8, 2019 A majority of Americans say they endorse the decision by House Democrats to begin an impeachment inquiry of President Trump, and nearly half of all adults also say the House should take the additional step and recommend that the president be removed from office, according to a Washington Post-Schar School poll. The findings indicate that public opinion has shifted quickly against the president and in favor of impeachment proceedings in recent weeks as information has been released about Trump’s efforts to pressure Ukrainian government officials to undertake an investigation into former vice president Joe Biden, a potential 2020 campaign rival, and Biden’s son Hunter. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/poll-majority-of-americans-say-they-endorse-opening-of-house-impeachment-inquiry-of-trump/2019/10/07/be9e0af6-e936-11e9-85c0-85a098e47b37_story.html 2
B-Man Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 House Democrats in red states who have come out in support of impeachment are having a rough time defending their decision back home. Democrats who are back home for two weeks in districts that supported President Trump in 2016 are having to answer questions on impeachment – whether they like it or not. At one town hall, Illinois, Rep. Sean Casten (D-IL) was confronted by a woman who “tore into” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA), accusing them of “lying their little butts off,” according to a report by Politico. She said the whistleblower complaint “looks like a bunch of 13-year-old girls gossiping.” 2 2 1

B-Man Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 There Sharyl Attkisson goes again, using facts and stuff. She better be careful, Twitter has a bad habit of suspending and/or blocking people who make too much sense on their platform … Factually speaking Sharyl is spot on here. This is part of what’s been making so many people nuts about the whole mess, the fact that Democrats appear to have done what they’re accusing Trump of doing. It’s not just the endless investigations that are annoying (and they are), but the absolute hypocrisy on the Left is off the freakin’ charts. As usual. https://twitchy.com/samj-3930/2019/10/08/whoa-shes-right-sharyl-attkisson-points-out-1-very-damning-fact-for-dems-accusing-trump-of-using-foreigners-for-political-gain/ 1 2

Sad times for our country
