So we're either racist or afraid... I prefer deplorable!

I love how the Dems can't admit that regular voters may just not like them. No, they have to be afraid, made to do it by their husbands, racist, etc.

Medic451 that meme of the K9 wanting his bone back had me rolling!

I just cannot believe that the majority of Democrats approve of the extreme leftward swing of the party. At what point do the ones with a couple brain cells left, look at the clown show the Dems have in congress, and all the left wing whack jobs they have running for President, and decide that they can't be a part of it anymore?

The left has gone so far as to figuratively lick the balls of a dead terrorist to demonstrate their hatred of President Trump. Thats how far gone they are, and theres no coming back to normalcy for them.

I saw this video on TV last night. Eric Bolling left Fox News and now works for Sinclair.

He lost his son to opioid in 2017 and President Trump called him with his condolences and later on Thanksgiving.
............................

Sinclair host Eric Bolling has joined a NASDAQ-listed anti-opioid organization as chairman and president in an effort to combat the opioid crisis following the loss of his son, Eric Chase Bolling.

Bolling announced his new mission in an article for USA Today, Monday, where he discussed the loss of his son to fentanyl-laced Xanax in 2017.

“Opioid overdoses kill more than 130 people per day in the United States, the equivalent of a daily plane crash. Yet where’s the outrage? America is negligent in the national opioid death epidemic,” Bolling declared. “Maybe that’s because we have always felt drug overdoses are about shady dealers and addicts shooting up in dark alleys. I have news for you. Opioids are crossing paths with your sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, parents and co-workers as you read this.”

Bolling then announced, “This September, on the two-year anniversary of Eric’s death, I joined JanOne as chairman and president. The company’s name reflects the new beginnings and clean starts we make on the first of the year. I am committed to bringing solutions to the opioid epidemic forward from this platform.”

“I plan to bring in doctors and researchers to find ways to combat a deadly killer in opioids. We will be developing strategies to save lives through nonaddictive alternatives to opioids. We will assess recovery systems and their efficacy (not their profitability),” he explained, adding, “We want to remove the stigma of opioid addiction so no other parents have to live the tragic nightmare I am living.”

“All proceeds from my participation in JanOne are going directly into The Eric Chase Foundation I created to bring awareness of the deadly opioid epidemic. This way, Eric Chase will be saving lives, even if his couldn’t be saved,” Bolling proclaimed, before proposing January as “National Opioid Awareness Month.”

According to Bolling, he will “be meeting with Jim Carroll, director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, as well as the president and first lady to discuss this idea and others.”

Until the penalties for drug peddling are made harsh enough there will always be those willing to accept the risk in order to get the big money, or their next "fix".

The ones peddling drugs for money should be treated HARSHLY. As in death penalty.

Why send them to some so-called prison so they can get what amounts to a graduate degree in drug dealing?

I'm retired from the dept of corrections, so I've worked around druggies for many years. As a parent I feel for Bolling & anyone else who has lost someone to drug abuse, but our war on drugs has been going on for decades & rather than seeing an improvement, I see it getting worse. And passing out free Narcan like M&Ms to every druggie isn't helping anything.

We've thrown unimaginable amounts of money at the problem, and there are enough programs out there that with a minimum amount of effort, anyone who actually wants help with a drug problem can easily find it. All this information readily available.

Someone with an addictive personality will always find something to get high on, whether it's heroin or sniffing paint, and no amount of money, or no new program is going to stop them if they don't take responsibility for themselves.

Winning!

And I'm guessing the entire staff at the WaPo is going to have to take a mourning-day.

Headlines on Drudge indicate the depravity of the cartels. Terminate the supply and the demand with extreme prejudice. Electric bleachers.

A US official confirms that the dog used in the Baghdadi raid is a Belgian Malinois. FYI: Same breed as Cairo, the dog used in the Bin Laden raid

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Mark Milley gave an update on the dog’s health during a press conference Monday.

“The dog is still in theater. The dog, the K-9, the military working dog performed a tremendous service as they all do in a variety of situations. Slightly wounded, and fully recovering, but the dog is still in theater, returned to duty with its handler,” Milley said

That fucking traitor Romney can't be voted out fast enough for me. I hope he never gets another chance to serve in any elected office after this.

I respect Collins (see her speech related to the Kavenaugh hearings), have no respect for Murkowski (related to the same issue), but contempt for Romney. I don’t say that lightly.

House Democrats Release Text Of Thursday Impeachment Resolution

https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...peachment-resolution

House Democrats have released the text of an impeachment resolution currently scheduled for a Thursday vote. On Monday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the legislation is aimed at 'affirming the ongoing, existing investigation that is currently being conducted by our committees.'

According to the resolution, the three Democratic-led impeachment panels are directed to continue their probes into the Trump administration's interactions with the Ukrainian government to determine whether a quid pro quo or other impeachable offenses have been committed.

It also allows the GOP to "question witnesses for equal specified periods of longer than five minutes" for up to 90-minute sessions. Still, Democrats will be able to deny witnesses. If that happens,

"...the ranking minority member may submit to the chair, in writing, any requests for witness testimony relevant to the investigation described in the first section of this resolution within 72 hours after notice is given for the first hearing."

It also allows Republicans to subpoena witnesses and materials related to their inquiries - which Democrats have the right to decline. If that happens, Republicans can appeal to the committee to hold a vote - which should be predictable given Democratic control of the House.

So, while this diminishes Republican claims that they are being denied due process, Democrats will ultimately control who testifies, and what can be subpoenaed.

Furthermore, "The chair is authorized to make publicly available in electronic form the transcripts of depositions conducted by the Permanent Select Committee," which is no guarantee that will happen.

Once the investigations are complete, "The Permanent Select Committee is directed to issue a report" setting forth their findings, "and any recommendations" regarding impeachment. The report "shall be prepared in consultation with the chairs of the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on Oversight and Reform.

Moreover, the resolution "authorizes the Committee on the Judiciary to conduct proceedings relating to the impeachment inquiry ... including such procedures as to allow for the participation of the President and his counsel."

(Actual text of 8 pages at the link)

I wouldn't vote for that Resolution.

I suspect the Republicans in the House will not vote for it either.

Just kicking the can down the street.

The resolution is about as bad as was feared.

All power still in hands of Schiff. Schiff will release what he wants. This reminds me of the DEM "jam it down their throats" approach to obamacare.

Yup, a very "fair" process...

Republicans can call any witnesses they want...subject to Schiff's approval. Subpoena anyone...subject to Schiff's approval. Have equal questioning time, subject to limitations by Schiff.

Sounds legit!

In spite of that; I'm sure if the "whistleblower" is included on the Republican's witness list by lucky coincidence or educated guess (which they wouldn't know, only Schiff and his staff know), he would totally approve that and let the witness testify!

I think I've seen this before:

The Inquisition

I suspect that they are already drafting the "report".

One good thing about all the investigations going on in DC is that I haven't heard about any significant legislation passing.

Trump is busy deregulating, and Congress is too preoccupied with their 74 different investigations to pass more bad laws.

With a divided Congress, I wouldn't expect much to pass in any case, but there is always seems to be some ridiculous "bipartisan" comprehensive turd that seems to make its way through. Luckily, the investigations have put an end to that it seems.

To the extent I’ve been following any of this, it was something that occurred to me as well, and got me to wondering, “What are those legislators doing to earn their keep?” Not that I’m complaining, mind. I’m reminded that during the previous Administration people here would sometimes whine about the President’s not doing anything. Well, I for one didn’t want him doing a dam’ thing, and would have been happier if he had spent every day on the golf course.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) prevented Republicans from asking impeachment probe witness Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the White House’s top Ukraine expert, some questions at his closed-door deposition in the Capitol basement Tuesday.

Jordan, who witnessed Vindman’s deposition, said he could not go into explicit detail about the questions Schiff blocked. The Ohio lawmaker, however, explained to reporters:

When we asked [Vindman] who he spoke to after important events in July. Adam Schiff said, “No, no, no” we’re not going to let him answer that question. Even though at the start of every one of these depositions … he says, “This is not classified.”
