Naming Names: It's Time to Name and Shame the Partisan Liars Who Attacked the American Democracy with Lies for Three Years
Alexthechick (hey I know her!) wrote on Twitter:
She calls for naming names. Senator Chuck Grassley says, Hold muh beer, Alex.
Let us review: The Steele dossier was used as the central basis for the FISA warrants, just as the crazies said and as the Super Duper Experts Who Are Totally Plugged In To All Kinds Of Access mocked.
The Steele dossier was full of lies and rumors and rumors of lies and not a thing in it was verified see re: rumor lies, just as the crazies said and as the How Dare You Insult The Integrity Of The Rank And File Of The FBI *bald eagle screech* caterwauled
Donald Trump was put under surveillance, just as the crazies said and as the Eyeroll Sure You Would Believe Anything You Cult 45 Member Plebe sneered I hate being wrong. I hate humiliating myself in public by being wrong in public. When it happens, which it does because the Universe is fond of teaching me much needed humility, I go back and stop and think about how and why I was wrong so it doesn't happen again. When I get fundamental premises about a situation completely wrong, I go back and review my premises. Why? It is not only because I hate to be wrong. It is because that is what you do if you are a thinking human being who cares about your own intellectual integrity. To date, the only person who has made any public statement and apology about the crazies being right and he being wrong is Andrew McCarthy. Again, there may be others that I did not see but he is the only one in my awareness. Years and years of sneering and smearing of people and not so subtle statements of we know things you don't and that's why we know, with absolute certainty, that you are crazies for doubting the integrity of the FBI whose agents gave false testimony in death penalty cases Let us name names. Jonah Goldberg. David French and do not let him gaslight you otherwise. Bill Kristol. Pick a Bulwark writer. All of them were not only wrong but desperately wrong. They should be completely humiliated to have made the statements they've made. They are not.
People are calling for consequences for the actions of those who spent years being both desperately wrong and nastily so. There should be no need for that. If these Men Of Supreme Integrity Just Ask US were what they claimed to be, they would remove themselves from positions. And yet. And yet, I have seen no sign of any possible recognition that they did a single thing wrong. Mayhap I missed it, and if so, my sincere apologies. But I do not think I did. It is thus reasonable to rub their noses in the filth they made and state bad dog! Bad! /fin

The IG also reported that it was the Grassley-Graham referral that alerted officials about Bruce Ohr’s involvement in feeding Steele’s oppo research to the FBI *after* Steele was fired as a source for lying about those contacts with the press (p. 235): pic.twitter.com/Sm64QJ2HgU

If you have more examples of unfortunate analysis that hasn’t aged well (it’s in no short supply) about the dossier or the FISA warrant from the last two years, reply with them here.

If you're one of the three people besides me who wonders "But what does David French say now?," well, last time he was exposed as either a fraud or a dupe who propagated lies for three years he claimed he hadn't done that at all, disregard his columns and tweets and just accept his New Claim that he always thought the collusion claim was shaky. (Not too shaky to endorse as likely true, though!) I guess he realizes he cannot claim that he never claimed Nunes was lying and his Sexual Hero Adam Schiff was telling the truth, because he wrote a lot of columns claiming just that. So, he just changes the topic: He pretends his entire worldview hasn't just be destroyed and... pivots to Stormy Daniels? Again?! So Michael Avenatti is David French's Great White Hope again?
I'd like to see the Venn diagram of those leading this charge and those also wrapping their arms around a president who appeared in Playboy films and paid hush money to a porn star. I wonder if they even know how that looks to everyone outside their bubble.
— David French (@DavidAFrench) December 12, 2019
But then again, the Venn diagram of those leading this charge and those who think persuasion is for weaklings and suckers is also nearly-perfect. So "outside their bubble" isn't relevant.
— David French (@DavidAFrench) December 12, 2019
David French then did what he usually does -- he took his twitter argument and made a "news analysis" out of it:
If you think porn is a scourge and think family stability is key to a healthy society … how do you support a thrice-married adulterer who appeared in a Playboy video and paid off a porn star? @DavidAFrench on “common good capitalism" https://t.co/zsUBUmeucl
— Rachael Larimore (@RachaelBL) December 12, 2019
At some point, one has to wonder why a grown man obsesses about the president’s past sexual behavior. Maybe a Venn diagram between those who are still fixated on what Trump did in bed decades ago and those who swoon over drag queens? https://t.co/nbxu48mWMf

The IG report “confirms” none of this. This guy has been wrong on every issue of substance in this scandal from the start.

Twitter babblers. Babble babble babble, babble on Twitter, read twitter headlines, write Twitter snark, never ever read primary documents, but always claim you're an Expert and and Intellectual who is owed deference due to the intellectual habits of mind and scholarly rigor which you have not actually practiced since sophomore year of college. They conceive of the Expert and Intellectual as being something you are -- and once you're in the club, you can never be ejected from it -- rather than something you do on a daily basis. These idiots really want to claim they're Experts and Intellectuals while steadfastly refusing to do any Outside Reading. And by outside reading, I mean reading that isn't Twitter posts.

I will return to one of my very first observations about the collusion crap. Remember when Brennan was screaming that all the intel heads agreed? And the NSA Chief said "Nah, bro." What kind of moron do you have to be to think that in the 21st century there would be ZERO electronic intelligence from the kind of plot we were being told was totes out there and dangerous?
If the NSA said "pass" -- THAT'S A TELL.

He's always the first to swear up and down that his colleagues at DOJ (and by the way, he has precious few colleagues still at DOJ; he's been out for a long while) are absolutely virtuous and impervious to corruption.
It's only a year later he says, "Gee, maybe I should have looked at the evidence and shown some skepticism."

I'm unbelievably sick of the "you-can't-vote-for-a-sinner" argument. It's the laziest, most hypocritical trash that's unfortunately been slung around the necks of decent people for decades in order to kneecap effective opposition.
Politics is a nasty game, such that only nasty people are going to succeed. If you restrict yourself to voting only for boy scouts, they're going to get eaten alive by ruthless Clinton-types.
Cf. the C.S.Lewis quote about polite society being possible only due to "rough men" who stand ready to do what needs to be done to those who would otherwise disrupt it.
The first play of a Lib is to weaponize your own decency against you in order to render you sheepishly guilty and politically malleable. French and his ilk are disgustingly self-righteous Liberals.

Exactly. You can't really hold that you have convincing arguments unless there is somebody who is 1) convinceable and is in a 2) position to be convinced, because they are not already convinced.

Likewise, and that was one of the reasons I opposed him before he got the nom. After that, well, nothing I can do about it, but at least I know he didn't lie to a GJ, or get people killed in Benghazi, or subvert the intelligence and law enforcement apparatus of the Federal Govt. to his personal political benefit.

I contend the smart play for the Senate, if Impeachment passes the house, is to submit a bill saying:
As there is no law against Abuse of Power
and there is no Law against Obstruction of Congress
and as the Constitution is clear that Impeachment is for Treason, Bribery, and other high CRIMES and Misdemeanors
We submit the articles of Impeachment from the House, are UnConstitutional, as they clearly do not meet Constitutional requirements.
(and then watch heads explode).

It's their power. The House vote is a check on the rash removal of a President. The judge ruled that the House is given the power of the vote to impeach, well the Senate was given the power of the actual trial.

There probably is a political vacuum in the UK, JJ. Labour more or less abandoned the working class and is a party of protected minorities and the upper class now. The Brexit Party briefly filled that vacuum and now Johnson has. "Brexit" in places like Manchester meant keeping the English culture and not replacing the indigenous population, not that it is reported as such. The Conservative Party Establishment very much would like to remain, and very much likes mass migration, but knew that had become toxic. They NEVER will let the surveillance state go, though.
It's really a mirror image of what has happened here.

Had they done so, they could easily say "I relied on x, y and z to support my reporting, but it turned out that x, y and z all were false and I was lied to."
Instead, they did nothing except rely on twitter mob - they did no investigation or critical thinking.
Worse, many were willingly used by anti Trump dems to plant false stories and spread rumors and speculation. Their response when the scam is revealed? Attack those who disagree with them as cultists and change the subject .

Someone PLEASE ask David French in as public a way as possible, exactly *how many* dead unborn babies he's willing to trade in order keep Trump out of office.
Because that literally was the offer before us.
It was a binary choice.
You either guy the most stridently pro-life president in American history or abortion up to the moment of birth. That's the choice.
"But Gorsuch" ignores all the appellate and district judges.
Choices have consequences. David French is fine with dead babies. They don't bother him. He sleeps soundly while they die in the womb.
What *really* gets to him is that Donald Trump was awash in snizz while French was beating his bishop.

Actually, I think Johnson will address that rather quickly. The Fixed-Term Parliament Act requires a two-thirds vote of Parliament to dissolve itself, so Johnson was placed in the absurd position of having Parliament refuse to pass his Brexit bill, while being unable to call for new elections to settle the issue (until Labor agreed to a new election, fortunately).
It completely undercuts the point of a parliamentary system, which is that if Parliament votes against the government on a significant issue, then Parliament is dissolved, and the voters get to decide who's right.

Endeth in Holy War.
Whether The People be led by The Lord,
Or lured by the loudest throat:
If it be quicker to die by the sword
Or cheaper to die by vote--
These are things we have dealt with once,
(And they will not rise from their grave)
For Holy People, however it runs,
Endeth in wholly Slave.
Whatsoever, for any cause,
Seeketh to take or give
Power above or beyond the Laws,
Suffer it not to live!
Holy State or Holy King--
Or Holy People's Will--
Have no truck with the senseless thing.
Order the guns and kill!
Saying --after--me:--
Once there was The People--Terror gave it birth;
Once there was The People and it made a Hell of Earth
Earth arose and crushed it. Listen, 0 ye slain!
Once there was The People--it shall never be again!

"Imma gonna go out on a limb and say they go for it knowing full well McConnell will reliably stave off lots of embarrassment for them -- similar to the way the Dems counted on Trent Lott to make sure Bubba was acquitted."
Safe bet. All of the bloviations about no witnesses coming from Graham and McConnell are aimed at sparing their left-wing colleagues and puppetmasters a lot of embarrassment.

Trump was the consummate ladies' man.
Unlike Bill Clinton or Elliot Spitzer, if a chick turned him down, he laughed it off and moved on to the next challenge.
It's interesting how liberals get really hung up on this aspect of him. It's the rage of uncontrollable jealousy.

It's like I said in #105. It's French's TrueCon act, because he thinks these are the priorities of the conservative electorate. He's reading a script from 1986, but even in 1986 he'd still be out-of-step with the actual concerns of GOP voters.

There seems to be a certain class of self-righteous people that harbor a deep-seated rage at all the fun they think they missed out on.
Of course, French has all the wit and charm of a moldy newspaper, so it's not like he'd have gotten the time of day from any of the Playmates. Which also enrages him.

diminished, transferred and monitored, the FISA court authorization to

This might be a little tin-hatty, but I don't really have a definite stake in conservative politics (the same way I have a stake if the Demedia machine wins in shutting down dissent), but if you're planted to control Conservative thoughts, then admitting that does nothing to help you.

If they really vote to impeach and this goes to the Senate, they surely know that Trump will be able to declassify ANY documents, electronic communications, etc. that will not only clear him, but expose the left as a whole to massive, MASSIVE crimes.
However, Republicans' hands aren't clean either. Many of them are guilty of taking laundered foreign money as well, in addition to numerous other illegalities. And the Democrats know this.
So they may see a Senate trial as a final "Die Gotterdammerung.". "If you take us down, we'll take you with us."

Starr was overseen by a panel of judges who had to approve any expansion of his scope. The statute under which Starr operated expired and I don't think was replaced by anything. I think Mueller operated on a make things up as you go along basis.

Or gave them any chance to bury what happened.
I don't know about you but I didn't want Mueller and his team to have any part of the investigation."
Speaking of Venn diagrams: the overlap between Operation Hurricane and the Mueller "investigation" was really something.

Little known fact about President Trump. He's a yuge fan of Conway
Twitty's music and honed his erotic skills from listening to the songs,
like Slow Hand, and Hello Darlin, and I'd Love To Lay You Down, and
Tight Fittin' Jeans, and .
I absolutely believe that.

If they really vote to impeach and this goes to the Senate, they surely know that Trump will be able to declassify ANY documents, electronic communications, etc. that will not only clear him, but expose the left as a whole to massive, MASSIVE crimes.
However, Republicans' hands aren't clean either. Many of them are guilty of taking laundered foreign money as well, in addition to numerous other illegalities. And the Democrats know this.
So they may see a Senate trial as a final "Die Gotterdammerung.". "If you take us down, we'll take you with us."
Mutually Assured Destruction.
The only ones coming out of that scenario relatively unscathed will be Trump and anyone not connected to deep state.

Not high confidence it will be looked at seriously - though Lindsey has finally made a few off-hand comments about it, and though the IG report raises even more questions*.
And Wray is still in his position, which is a problem.

The reason the Senate GOP wants a quick acquittal is that they also have to run for re-election.
People are forgetting this. It has nothing to do with skeletons and everything to do with campaign time in the home state.
Besides, whether 90 days or 9, the result with be the same: acquittal.
Pelosi already has defectors, so the only "bipartisan" aspect of this will be opposition to it.
Also, Dem senators in swing states are going to get crushed.
The Senate Dems are pushing hard to see this thing doesn't leave the House.

The cards are basically all on the table at this point, the pot is being raked away from them, and they're still yelling out, "All In!!!"
It's just baffling....
I suppose the answer is that they literally don't know what else to do. They can't even conceive of any play other than doubling down on their solipsistic inanity, because for years and years now, they haven't *had* to do anything else. They've gone so far as to *forget* how to do anything else. Their party, their "movement", from FedGov to the mucky trenches of Political Twitter, is utterly devoid of Statesmen and Critical Thinkers. All have been summarily replaced with "Activists".
So "act" is what they do.

Until very recently, the propaganda outlets provided a cordon that could conceal the Left's ugliness and sheer stupidity. They still haven't adapted to the loss of that protection and stand naked and exposed. It's beautiful to watch although my gut says it may be too little, too late.

Because once it gets to the Senate they are going to badger the Senate about "doing their job". We might even see handmaidens show up.
Heck, we might see the costume of a crucified Constitution show up.
And we agree about the corrupting effect of cheap and easy wins. The media has given them water wings and they have become too lazy to remember how to swim.

Exactly why the GOP should make sure it does. Don't vote for it - but they should fucking demand it sees a floor vote in the House. And mock the shit out of the DNC if it does not.
