After a few months of head-fake commentary downplaying the Democrat party objective to use the House for an impeachment process, Speaker Nancy Pelosi drops the pretense.
In a tweet last night, connected to a press release, the democrat Speaker of the House of Representatives accuses the sitting President of being a Russian operative; thus Pelosi begins to set the stage for two likely purposes:
The tweet itself is connected to, and comes on the heels of, Speaker Pelosi publishing a statement about the Special Counsel, DOJ and FBI arrest of Roger Stone.
“The indictment of Roger Stone makes clear that there was a deliberate, coordinated attempt by top Trump campaign officials to influence the 2016 election and subvert the will of the American people.” … “In the face of 37 indictments, the President’s continued actions to undermine the Special Counsel investigation raise the questions: what does Putin have on the President, politically, personally or financially?” (link)
All indications are that Speaker Pelosi will refuse to allow President Trump to deliver a State of the Union address from the capitol building. Factually, the Speaker is currently barring President Trump from entering the premises.
The implication within both the tweet and the published press release appears to be groundwork justification to forbid President Trump from entering the venue by claiming his administration is illegitimate.
Obviously this approach would be unprecedented. However, as with everything that has happened thus far, this level of resistance continues to raise political confrontation into uncharted territory.
Secondly, as we noted in the new Speaker Pelosi ‘House Rules‘, the framework of the congressional committees are specifically structured to accomplish an impeachment process. The shift yesterday to a more hostile, aggressive and confrontational tone would seem to indicate all House ‘impeachment‘ pretense is being dropped.
When we approach the term “impeachment” we are not discussing it as the technical and legal approach for removal of a President; but rather the political use of the process to Alinsky (damage) President Donald Trump.
Professional political Democrats would not be using “impeachment” in the constitutional sense of the process (high crimes and misdemeanors); but rather weaponizing the process –as a tool itself– to: •target the executive office; •diminish the presidency (“isolate”/”marginalize”, Alinsky rules); •and position themselves for 2020.
Optics and innuendo are key elements, tools per se’, in the Alinsky narrative engineering process. [Alinsky Rule #6 is Pelosi fueling the resistance base] Pelosi, Schumer and the democrat machine are also focused on getting a raw Mueller report and not a version from AG Barr {explained here}.
1. “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.” Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. “Have-Nots” must build power from flesh and blood.
2. “Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone.
3. “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.” Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.
4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules.
5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.
7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news.
8. “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.” Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new.
9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist.
10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.” It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.
11. “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.” Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog.
12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.” Never let the enemy score points because you’re caught without a solution to the problem.
13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. [Alinsky Rules]
[IMPORTANT: Keep in mind that Speaker Pelosi has selected former insider DOJ official Douglas Letter to be the Chief Legal Counsel for the House. That becomes important because there are new powers granted to the House Counsel.]
From Pelosi’s House rules, we now know Elijah Cummings will deliver the schedule for impeachment hearings before his deadline on April 15th.
Pelosi sets up a new, much narrower, oversight priority for Chairman Elijah Cummings; specifically to tailor oversight to the White House and President Donald Trump. Additionally we see the outlined time-schedule for hearings.
I know liberals, stung through the heart by Hillary’s loss and the broken promise of her Presidency, love this shit, but can a caricature of a more irresponsible, dishonest and utterly incompetent Speaker of the House be imagined? Does she realize that entertaining the fantasies of her crybaby, sore loser base is not her job? Apparently not. She’s an absolute anti-American idiot.
Sadly, there is but one way to oppose this; if there is anyone in the DOJ that is loyal to the Constitution, they need to use Pelosi’s abuse of taxpayer funded airlift and arrest her. Drag her out of the House chambers by her thumbs. She is creating a Constitutional crisis that will, among other things, crater the economy. The time is now; this is the bridge too far. Perhaps her vile, baseless accusation above can be used to accuse treason and sedition. Something. Raid her offices in San Francisco; there’s something there. Gentlemanly defense is not working. Someone needs to crush these seditionists.
It appears Pelosi has foreknowledge of Mueller’s report contents and it is not to her liking. So, she is going to launch her own offensive. It needs to be crushed.
Crushed. With malice.
Ms Pelosi what do the drug cartels and human traffickers have on you?
Why havent you introduced legislation to punish board of directors and CEOs for hiring undocumented workers, shall we have a look at your political donors list?
And her and the rest of the left wing coupsters think that 60 million plus Americans are going sit idly by while BHO’s praetorian guard and the demokrats nullify their votes and overturn the election of a Constitutionally elected President just like they do in a banana republic?
@another vet: What does Putin have on congress?
North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, speaking on “Fox News Sunday,” said President Trump’s tough talk has ultimately strengthened the 70-year-old alliance by leading member nations to contribute tens of billions of additional dollars to ensure their own security.
In the face of Russian economic (natural gas sold) and military expansion into the ME and eastern Europe.
China is expanding its influence in Africa.
@kitt:
I’m sure he has plenty on not just Congress, but the non-Congressional coupsters as well.
you all realize that the President can end the speaker’s position in a sentence?
I guess not everyone believed Pelosi wasn’t responsible for keeping the government shut down.
