THE CHILDREN OF STALIN, THEY’RE EVERYWHERE:  Impeachment can be preventive…

AND ALSO HAVING VOTED FOR HIM AS A CAPITAL CRIME.  BE WARNED. IT’S NOT TRUMP THESE *SS CLOWNS WANT. WHEN THEY CLAIM THAT HEARSAY EVIDENCE IS BEST, AND THAT ONE SHOULDN’T HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEFEND HIMSELF AGAINST HIS ACCUSERS, IT’S NOT THE PRESIDENT IN DANGER. IT’S YOU AND ME THEY’RE ULTIMATELY COMING FOR:  The Democrats want to define Trump being president as a high crime and misdemeanor.

THIS IS MY SHOCKED FACE:  Rudy Giuliani Investigated For Lobbying And Campaign Finance Violations.

SOMEONE NEEDS TO PHOTOSHOP HIM ON AN IMAGE OF LOUIS XVI.  NO. NOT THE XIV. I CHOOSE MY REFERENCES ADVISEDLY:  Adam Schiff Says He Doesn’t Know Whistleblower Identity.

Or perhaps Marie Antoinette “Let them ban the name of the whistleblower.”
There’s lies, d*mn lies and statistics. And then there’s Schiffty.

IT’S THE SHAM-WOW IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY. IT’S A SHAM, AND WOW, IS THIS REALLY GOING TO BE ALLOWED TO GO ON?  Fake Impeachment Catch-Up Thread.

Look, guys, I was tired of Schiff-ty’s smirk before it started. My mom used to be able to tell a communist by the expression “It’s the smirk,” she used to say.  If she’s right, then Adam Schiff is to the left of Stalin.

“THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN RAPID RESPONSE TEAM ARE ON THEIR TOES.” Hilarious takedown of Dems’ shifting accusations…’collusion’ to ‘quid pro quo’ to ‘extortion’ to ‘bribery’. “ot that? The impeachment of the President will be determined by testing various accusations on focus groups in key House battlegrounds. (Just as our nation’s Founders intended!)”

Trump’s only real crime is simply existing, and beating Hillary.

OH, DEAR LORD:  Ukraine: Dem orthodoxy evolves.

YEAH. WAS INVOLVED IN ONE OF THOSE. THERE IS STILL A PRICE. BUT SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO:  Thankful for Signs of Challenging Cultural Insanity.

DUH:  Marie Yovanovitch Admits There Was No Crime, No Bribery From Trump On Ukraine.

THERE’S A SCANDAL HERE, BUT IT’S NOT TRUMP’S: Marie Yovanovitch admits Obama admin prepped her on Hunter Biden.

OPEN THREAD: Carpe threadem.

ARTEMIS: Vice President Pence Stresses Importance of 2024 Moon Landing: U.S. leadership in space is a priority of the Trump Administration.

If you really want to get to the Moon, hire SpaceX.

THAT’S NOT THE NARRATIVE! Trump Surges with Suburban Women, Beats All 2020 Democrats in Large Donations. “Trump’s re-election bid is being boosted by a surge in large-dollar donations from suburban women, the new report by OpenSecrets.org has revealed.The figures show that President Trump is receiving more big donations from the key demographic than any 2020 Democrat candidate.”

IT’S NOT JUST A CLOWN SHOW, IT’S A FAILED CLOWN SHOW: Top Democrats Concede They’re Losing The Impeachment Battle.

HE’S SPENDING IT IN THE WRONG PLACE: Tom Steyer Spending 67% of All TV Ad Dollars, Still Getting 1% in the Polls. Seriously, Tom, call me. A few million bucks in InstaPundit advertising will set you right up. I practically guarantee it.

#JOURNALISM: How Journalists Became Fahrenheit 451–Style ‘Firemen.’ “Not too long ago, ambitious journalists, local and national, prided themselves on gathering information, and their editors prided themselves on publishing it. About 50 or so years ago, however, progressives started to seize control of universities, J-schools included, and newsrooms shifted leftwards with each new graduating class. By 2016, even major newsrooms had become firehouses. Their goal was not to report information but to manage it.”

JOEL KOTKIN: Will Australia Become A Vassal State of China? “China presents the most profound challenge to liberal values since the end of the Cold War, a development that has caught our consistently lame political establishment by surprise. The leaders of both parties, and much of the corporate America, never saw it coming.”

DISPATCHES FROM THE INTERSECTION OF THE EDUCATION APOCALYPSE AND 21st CENTURY RELATIONSHIPS: “Sex-educator and activist tells WU radical sex positivity is not optional.”

Exit quote: “It costs $72,000 per year to study at Washington University in St. Louis. But look at all the benefits!”

TO BE HONEST, NOVEMBER OF 2019 IN REAL LIFE* IS A BIT OF A LET-DOWN COMPARED TO HOW IT WAS PREDICTED IN BLADE RUNNER: Keeping up with the sex robots.

* Or a reasonable facsimile thereof.

NEVERTHELESS, SHE PERSISTED: “Adam Schiff shut down GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik when she attempted to question former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch at today’s impeachment hearing. House rules stated that Stefanik had to wait until after the Chair, ranking members, or their counsel had finished, and then she would have the opportunity to ask questions. Well, Stefanik’s opportunity eventually came, and she seized it.”
