“If Democrats did not have “Double Standards”, they wouldn’t have any Standards at all!”
This an often quoted but accurate trite cliche’ these days. Nothing proves this point more than the current omission of facts during the partisan “Impeachment Trial” of former President Donald J. Trump.
Not withstanding the farce of an impeachment of a private citizen in the senate where there is no constitutional authority or jurisdiction (we won’t go into the nuances here but click here for a full explanation of Article II, Section 4), the Democrats have the audacity to preside over the “trial” as judge and jury with Senator Leahy acting as lead in this Soviet Style “show trial”.
The Danger to our Country in “Trying a Private Citizen” for the purposes of preventing them from running for office the future.
There are many politicians who have articulated out loud that a main driver for this trial is the sole purpose of preventing Donald Trump from running for office again. Here is the fall-out from such diabolical actions:
- Constitutional Nullification – This makes a mockery of the constitution and opens the door for future partisan witch hunts to prevent other private citizens from running for office. Think of a Republican Congress that is in the majority that decides for example that Mark Cuban (who has voiced some desire to run for president) is an enemy to the party for his public lies about conservatives, but even worse an enemy to our country for his attack on our military for banning the National Anthem at the Maverick’s basketball games. Under the current witch
Impeachment Witch Hunt #2 hunt rules of impeachment, they could bring him up on sedition allegations and convict him in the senate. Remember, since this is a purely “political process”, it makes no difference if he actually committed sedition, it’s not a criminal trial. See how wrong this is yet!
- Consider the following analysis: “When we have political actors involved, we get political theater. And that’s a lot of what we’re getting here. Is this the judiciary now? Is the Senate now the judiciary that will try any citizen? Because an impeachment is specifically for someone that is in office, according to the American Constitution,” Green, a former Texas state representative and co-founder of the Patriot Academy, told “American Thought Leaders.”
- “My fear is a separation of powers conflict here that the Senate becomes more and more the judiciary… and now if they can go after someone that’s a citizen like Donald Trump is today, well, they can indict you. They can indict me, they can prevent us from running for future office. “I know that was not the view of the Founding Fathers. And when you abuse a constitutional provision in one instance, then other people will be able to abuse it in other instances in the future.”
- First Amendment Nullification – One of the unfortunate outcomes of the last few years is the “double standard” as applied to free speech and public statements. We have all seen the selective censorship of the Main Stream Media (MSM) and Big Tech. There are too many examples of egregious censorship to list here, it numbers in the tens of thousands. It is one of the reasons this country was founded, to prevent the tyranny of benevolent leaders from silencing its critics. Far too often, MSM “journalists” are showing their partisan hack credentials by calling for the censorship of those they disagree with (it is hard to imagine media calling for censorship but that is where we are today). In this current impeachment partisan charade the media ignores obvious corrosive statements by people they are ideologically aligned with and possible paid by behind the scenes. Take Chuck Schumer of NY and watch this statement:
Here is just a snippet of what he said THREATENING justices on the Supreme Court:
“I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions,” Schumer threatened the two most recently confirmed justices, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.
Where is the outrage? Where is the Impeachment Trial? Where is the MSM?
“If Democrats did not have “Double Standards”, they wouldn’t have any Standards at all!”
Two other examples of outrageous public statements come from Kamala Harris and Maxine Waters. In the heat of massive rioting from Antifa and BLM members in dozens of cities, Kamala Harris supported them and urged them on in a famous video with Stephen Colbert as seen below:
As Rand Paul recently said about the forthcoming Impeachment Trial, “It’ll just now be all theater, but it really is a double standard when you think about it. Kamala Harris has offered to pay people’s bail who tried to burn down the courthouse and were rioting in the cities. She offered to pay the bail. Is that inciting people to violence when you’re willing to pay people to get out of jail after they committed violence? Should Kamala Harris be impeached? No, the answer is no,” he said. He left out the fact that a group Harris supported actually bailed out rioters and looters who then went on to commit more crimes.
Maxine Waters said the following and reiterated it on the campaign stump and speeches dozens of times, “Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”
Now we believe in the First Amendment and as outrageous as many of the these statements are, they are also political theater and silly hyperbole. None of these folks should be impeached but we merely point out the hypocrisy of the “double-standard” under the current witch hunt rules the Democrats operate under in a blood thirsty lust for power.
Was it a Spontaneous Riot Incited by then President Trump or a Planned Attack over weeks? It can’t be both!
- House managers pretzeled themselves with the original “charging” document. First they said President Trump gave a speech inciting an insurrection to now was is a planned attack over weeks. Of course, the facts on the ground necessitated this contradictory position with Democrats trying to fit the arguments to the facts after the trial started.
- As John Solomon Reported, “The question I have is what did Nancy Pelosi, what did Mitch McConnell know about these threats beforehand?” he asked. “If they didn’t know, it’s an intelligence failure of the police. If they did know, there’s something they didn’t tell us before we went into this impeachment round today. ”What Nancy Pelosi knew and when did she know it is an important question,” Solomon said. “It should have been answered before impeachment. What did Mitch McConnell know? There’s a Senate Sergeants of Arms. Same thing. Same relationship. The Capitol Police Chief reports to those two security officials, the Sergeants of Arms and up to the Speaker and the leaders of the House. We do not know what they know. And I think a week into this that is a gap into our knowledge that we should try to close.”
- The other report that has just come out from Mark Meadows is that the White House offered 10,000 National Guard to the Capitol Police and was turned down. Is the position now that President Trump planned an insurrection and then offered up 10,000 National Guard to be slaughtered? This whole charade should be exposed for the partisan hack sham it is!
With all this being said, do your own investigation and come to a conclusion that makes sense for you. The MSM partisan hacks are going to try and manipulate the information with half-truths and whole lies. Fake News is alive and well and this is why we are here to expose the nonsense!
