Harris Camp Rhetoric: "Trump is afraid to debate Kamela."

Because Trump hasn't taken the bait of agreeing to a date for debating Harris.

Trump Camp response: 

There's no reason for Trump to commit to a debate date this early until the democrat party and the DNC ends their convention in Chicago and the presidential candidate is selected. It might be Harris. It could be someone else, like Cankles. 

Trump needn't agree to any debate dates now. Let the DNC and Harris twist in the wind, their internal panic and in their own debacle. Sit back and watch them implode. Enjoy the show!

SafeSide wins! Ralphie Northam loses! Judge rules Virginia gun range can open amid virus closures.

WJLA: Judge rules Virginia gun range can open amid virus closures.

A judge has ruled that a Virginia gun range must be allowed to open to customers despite a statewide executive order requiring nonessential businesses to close to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

The order issued Monday by Lynchburg Circuit Judge F. Patrick Yeatts says federal and state protections on the right to bear arms outweigh any emergency authority held by Gov. Ralph Northam to order the gun range closed.

The SafeSide gun range in Lynchburg filed the lawsuit challenging the governor’s executive order, along with Gun owners of America, the Virginia Citizens Defense League and the Association of Virginia Gun Ranges.

Sherrod Brown, Ohio DEM U.S. Senator considered as nominee with VP Michelle to stop Bernie Sanders.

The Independent (via Yahoo): Michelle Obama petitioned to run as vice-president to stop Bernie Sanders, report says.

Fearing the selection of Bernie Sanders as the Democrats’ 2020 presidential nominee, a growing number of establishment party officials are reportedly considering Sherrod Brown as a late-entry “white knight” with Michelle Obama as a running mate.
[.]
“If you could get to a convention and pick Sherrod Brown, that would be wonderful, but that’s more like a novel”, said Tennessee Congressman Steve Cohen.
[.]
[Other DNC] party officials suggested the former First Lady be selected as a vice presidential pick to unite the burgeoning left with the party’s moderates.

Clearly, as with everything they do, DEMS haven't thought through the process of pairing these two potential candidates.

Bloomberg Theatre Follies Continues. (Video)

Via Bradley Brewer @ Twitter

"A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down his pants."

More: Tiny Mike as 'Mary Poppins'.

While many billionaires, and millionaires - like the rest of us - work hard at their jobs and improving their business, some, like Tiny Mike, have too much time on their hands. His current attempt at buying the DEM nomination is the evidence.

Bloomberg does Mary Poppins? WTH is this?

@ Jack Allison Twitter:

Amy Klobuchar can't name president of Mexico. Either can Tom Steyer.

MSN: Klobuchar and Steyer couldn't name Mexico's president in Telemundo interview.

2020 Democratic hopefuls Amy Klobuchar and Tom Steyer both couldn't name the president of Mexico when asked during a Telemundo interview while campaigning in Nevada this week.

"I forget," Steyer said when asked. Klobuchar offered a simple "no" in response.

Newsweek: Use Jokes About Trump During 2020 Election Campaign, Amy Klobuchar Says: 'Show How Absurd He Is'.

Amy Klobuchar said the "ability to make a joke" is important for Democrats hoping to beat President Donald Trump in November, and argued they must "poke" at the commander-in-chief.

The Minnesota Democrat told Reuters before the January 14 primary debate in Des Moines, Iowa, that going into a head-to-head with Trump "without some animation" would be a "problem," and said it would be necessary to "show how absurd he is."

But she also said it would be important to ignore the president. "First of all, you have to have that ability to make a joke or poke at him or just show how absurd he is.["]

Yeah, the ill-tempered Senator Eats Salad with Fork and Throws Paperclips at Staff is in no position to poke fun at others.

Mexico's President Obrador has been in office for over two years, has met with President Trump at least twice and has met, at least once, with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

And Steyer, "forgets." I don't think he had a clue.

The DEM candidates are an impressive bunch, aren't they?

DEM Dream Ticket: Bloomberg/Hillary.

Daily Mail: Bloomberg 'is considering picking Hillary Clinton as his running mate in the 2020 Democratic race'.

Mike Bloomberg is considering making Hillary Clinton his running mate, a source close to his campaign has told Drudge Report.

Polling found the Bloomberg-Clinton combination would be a formidable force to take on Trump in the race for the White House, the source said.
[.]
Bloomberg's campaign would not confirm or deny the reports when DailyMail.com reached out for comments.

Well...a Bloomberg/Hillary ticket must have President Donald Trump laughing his way into his second term.

I want to note that on both her Tuesday and Wednesday FOX television program this past week, Laura Ingraham - whom I like a lot - said there will not be a brokered convention for the DEMS and that the DEMS will have their ticket decided by mid-March. 

I'm no one to make accurate predictions, just glance through all my past NHL game and series predictions. But I've been saying for a long time Hillary will run and the convention will be brokered. I like Laura, a lot - but count on a brokered convention. If Bernie has the rug pulled out from under him again - and he will - a whole lot of pissed off Bernie supporters will be either staying home on election day or they'll be voting for Trump.

I can't think of a more nightmarish couple than Tiny Mike and The Bloated Loser. An old, racist, rich, white, politically entrenched billionaire and a bitter, phony, angry, health-impaired clown. Viva DIVERSITY!

Then again, the story is a Drudge "exclusive"... so, GIANT GRAIN of SALT required. More likely a "floated" disinfo trial balloon from Tiny Mike's campaign. Gotta keep paying those focus groups.

Newly-Unveiled Nevada Caucus App for DEMS.

Newsweek: Election Security Institute Criticizes Newly-Unveiled Nevada Caucus App After Iowa Disaster.

The Open Source Election Technology (OSET) Institute began its Twitter thread Sunday...
[.]
"Deja Vu; this time in NV," OSET's first tweet read. "Let's be clear from the start: their's is an 'App' and no designation of 'tool' changes that. Let's stop playing word games here. The fact that its pre-loaded & may not use mobile connectivity is the only 'difference.'"
[.]
OSET also wrote that the same issues with the app used in Iowa appeared to be present with Nevada's tool: "lack of adequate testing (all aspects); transparent code vetting; training (read the article in #1 above) [sic]; security audit; and above all, resiliency planning."

The organization also called for the NDP (NV Democrat Party) to be more "transparent," and an answer a plethora of questions about the tool: Who developed the tool? Who has tested it? How it will be used to report the results of the caucus?

"In short, if the DNC & NDP want to improve *trust* in all of this, then do the right things," OSET suggested.
[.]
The institute predicted that "the DNC & NDP will *not* engender any trust by failing to completely answer these questions" and that there will be problems with the app on Caucus Day.

"Please prove us wrong," read the final tweet in the thread.

The Nevada Independent: Nevada Democrats debut to volunteers new iPad-based ‘tool’ to calculate math on Caucus Day in the wake of Iowa fiasco.

Another volunteer, who asked for anonymity to speak openly about the training process, said the general sentiment in the room at the training was frustration and confusion. 

But it's a "Newly Unveiled" Shiny, Blue, Bouncy Ball! It's... Newly ! Tastes Great! You'd never know you're drinking instant coffee!

Dear Iowa, The NY Times says your caucus is a relic, your system antiquated, you're too white and the App debacle is YOUR FAULT!

Two elitist NYT columnists blame Iowa for what is directly the fault of the DNC. Monday's Iowa Caucus (why, yes, it does seem like it was five months ago), could have been done by paper balloting and, within a matter of hours, tabulated with reliable and accurate results.

But no. The Democrat National Committee, and its Chair Tom Perez (who promised this would be the most "transparent caucus ever"), had a new, shiny blue bouncing ball to employ in their precious Iowa Democrat Caucus - an App - and they all piddled themselves silly with technology glee. Of course, what happened in the Democrat Iowa Caucus is fully self-inflicted by the DNC and DEM party bigwigs who hate Bernie Sanders. They will do anything to derail his candidacy.

Count on (at least) two writers from the NYT, scrambling to rescue the DNC and put all the blame on stupid, racist Iowa.

The NY Times, February. 6, 2020 (Archived): Thank You, Iowa. You’ve definitively shown us why you shouldn’t be first on the political calendar, and so much more.

Iowa is way too white to have so much influence. So is New Hampshire, for that matter. As a party with a diverse electorate, the Democrats should not be spending so much time and money catering to such a monochromatic subset.
[.]
There is a strong argument to be made that no single state deserves to hold the rest of the electorate hostage the way Iowa has for decades.
[.]
So, thank you, Iowa. This may be the most you have taught the electorate in a long while. Now take your bows, and step aside.

"A monochromatic subset." Okay, then. Instead the DEM candidate should be...uh...the polychromatic Mike Bloomberg?

Step aside, Iowa, the DNC doesn't need or want you. You no longer serve their purposes.

The NY Times, February 4, 2020 (Archived): Are the Iowa Caucuses Finally Canceled?

Iowa’s tech problem.

That's all the excerpt required. Blame Iowa. The App bio-hazard is their fault.

Insult politics, blame others, denigrate the entire people of a state. It's what Democrats do when they don't get their way. Beware New Hampshire.

Pelosi "stunned" by dismissal of LIEUTENANT COLONEL Pasty Face.

LIEUTENANT COLONEL!!! Alexander "Pasty Face" Vindman

Washington Examiner: Pelosi 'stunned' by White House firing of 'patriotic' Alexander Vindman.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi responded to news that President Trump relieved impeachment witness Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman of his White House duties by saying that she was “stunned” to learn such a “patriotic person” had been fired.

“What a patriotic person,” Pelosi said. “This goes too far.”

    Pelosi on WH removing Vindman from NSC:
    I’m stunned by it. I’ll talk to my colleagues. They have concerns about (President Trump’s) interventions with the military.

    Pelosi on Vindman:
    What a patriotic person. This goes too far.
    — Chad Pergram (@ChadPergram) February 7, 2020
[.]
Vindman, a key figure in the House impeachment case against President Trump, was relieved of his White House duties, reassigned to the Army, and escorted out of the White House by security on Friday afternoon.
[.]
Fox News host Laura Ingraham praised the decision and told her viewers that “getting rid of radicals” is the right move.

"Get rid of the radicals undermining from within and replace them with people who believe in your agenda, Mr. President," Ingraham said on her show Friday night.

Maybe Nancy can find some papers to rip up to vent her "stunned-ed-ness".

"Stunned." Pelosi must not have visited her home district of San Fran in a long time and seen the state of her streets and sidewalks.

Bernie Sanders: "We are all racists."

Washington Examiner: Bernie Sanders says we have 'a racist society from top to bottom' because social justice demands him to.

"During an extended back-and-forth on race issues at the Democratic presidential debate on Friday, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders went for the finish line. "We have a racist society from top to bottom," he declared. He said it's in the healthcare system, criminal justice, the economy, and everywhere else.

I won't analyze the psychology behind calling an entire country, whose people you want to like you, racist. I don't think I'd like what I'd find. But in fairness to Sanders, this is largely what the social justice faction of the Democratic Party, the most powerful faction, needs to hear.

If Democrats aren't talking about oppression, grievance, and victimhood as it relates to race, gender, and sexuality, are they really saying anything at all?

Constant Socialist fear-mongering, on every issue, and denigrating an entire country - from Bernie, again. It doesn't matter who you are, your color, race, background - nothing. You're Racist. Bernie said so. His internal focus groups must have told him, "run with this and we'll see how it plays."

Desperately seeking voters by insults. Keep going Bernie, keep doing what you're doing.

Mittens makes new friends. Loses others. President Trump Acquitted on both impeachment charges.

Sad Mittens

Breitbart: Mitt Romney: Donald Trump Should Be Removed from Office.

[FOX] Anchor Chris Wallace asked, “Do you believe that Donald Trump is unfit to serve as president and should be removed from office?”

Romney said, “I do believe he should be removed from office. That’s the vote that I will take in a while.”

Roll Call: Senate votes to acquit Trump on both impeachment charges.

The Senate voted 48-52 to reject the House’s abuse of power charge and 47-53 to reject the obstruction of Congress charge.
[.]
Utah Republican Mitt Romney became the only Republican in Congress to defy Trump during the inquiry and trial, casting a vote to convict the president on the charge of abuse of power.

It's interesting that it was only last week that the JUNIOR Senator from Utah - (I read somewhere Romney hates being referred to as the JUNIOR Senator so let's all plan on using that when we write about him) - said he wanted the Senate to call witnesses because he felt there was more information needed. How quickly he decided today that he didn't need any additional info.

Mittens, you have some new friends with the DEMS. Likely the same as those who were palsy with John McCain.

Enjoy the short-lived attention. What - it's already over? This one's for you, Mittens:

"Everybody's My Friend" from Drastic Measures by Kansas.

Fire Fighters appear being held against their will at Biden Iowa Rally.

NY Times (via Yahoo): How Iowa Could Decide Joe Biden's Financial Future.

In Iowa, Biden is not just chasing votes and delegates. He’s chasing cash.

A disappointing finish in the state, where there are four candidates bunched in the top tier in polls, could dampen his online fundraising at a crucial juncture.

That is some prime, astute journalism from The Times. "A candidate who finishes poorly in a primary could lose some degree of fundraising." No one would have concluded that on their own.

Those poor Fire Fighters. I bet they were told, unofficially of course, they have to attend. Do they look like they want to be there?

Who will Al Franken endorse?

Disgraced, resigned, ex-Senator Al "The Groper" Franken endorsed Hillary in 2014. I imagine his endorsement is much sought-after by all the DEMS running and that it carries a lot of weight.

The House Fails. Need more Peach Mints!

Breitbart: Senate Votes Down Extra Impeachment Witnesses, Paves Way for Trump Acquittal.

The Senate on Friday voted down a motion to allow for additional witnesses to testify as part of the upper chamber’s impeachment trial, all but ensuring a quick acquittal of President Donald Trump.

The 51 to 49 vote thwarted Democrats’ ongoing effort to hear from current and former Trump administration officials such as acting White House Chief of State Mick Mulvaney and former National Security Advisor John Bolton.
[.]
Only two Republicans — Sens. Mitt Romney (R-UT) and Susan Collins (R-ME) — voted in favor of the motion for more witnesses, with the former saying he believes that it was important to hear from Bolton.

Basically, The House didn't do their job as prosecutors. They failed. Their case was tossed out of court. The House had the opportunity to have John Bolton testify before Adam Schiff's Clown Show. The House chose not to pursue Bolton. They tried to pass their failure on this onto The Senate, who, correctly, would have none of this nonsense from the House.

Besides, DEMs have had nothing but contempt for Bolton for decades. Until the past 24-36 hours, when they fell in love with him because of some alleged, second-hand report from The NY Times based on unpublished manuscripts of a future book written by Bolton. I guess there's a shortage on current-events political books sitting, unsold, in warehouses everywhere.

The House failed. The DEMS were driving a bus off a cliff and they were the only ones who weren't aware of it. Or they were fully aware and decided to ignore it based solely on bias and TDS. If that isn't the definition of delusion and derangement, then I don't know what is.

The House failed in forming a coherent and substantive case. Instead, House Managers carried into The Senate nothing more than a bag of garbage. And, as DEMS always do, they pass their messes onto others, feebly hoping that the heavy-lifting and fixing their mistakes will be done by others. The Senate and counsel for the President turned the onus right back onto Schiff and Company. And House Managers had nothing.

Schiff and Company would have had a better argument entering The Senate with the excuse that, "the dog ate their homework."

As expected, RINO's Mittens Romney and Susan Collins voted with the DEMS. Both need to stick a 'D' behind their name and both need to be challenged, and defeated, by more Trumpian Republicans or Conservatives.

I haven't checked social media and don't plan on it, but I hope DEMs everywhere are feeling crushed; unhinged and deranged, thrown into depths of despair. And copious amounts of The Sweet, Unfathomable and Yummy Tears of Sadness.

Copious, Copious amounts...

The Sweet, Yummy Tears of Unfathomable Sadness. 

Unfathomably Delicious!

When does Peach Mint 2.0 begin?

The last time Jerry Nadler moved this fast was when he heard the words, "Free, All-you-can-eat buffet."

Townhall: Watch Schiff's Hilarious Attempt to Stop Nadler From Delivering Closing Remarks.

Rep. Jerry Nadler raced to the podium Thursday after Chief Justice John Roberts read the last question  before adjourning for the evening, blowing past House impeachment manager Rep. Adam Schiff who attempted to stop him.
[.]
"Jerry, Jerry, Jerry," Schiff said as he stepped toward his colleague.

“This is INCREDIBLE. Schiff tried to stop Nadler! You can hear him call him to stop. And then he showed why," National Republican Senate Committee senior advisor Matt Whitlock tweeted. "Dems ask for a closing statement on the night. Nadler, clearly fed up, jumps to his feet and scurries to the mic, ignoring audible protests of lead manager Schiff. Then Nadler gives a terrible lecturing close."
[.]
MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell even commented on how quickly Nadler raced to the podium.

"Adam Schiff stood. He was ready to go to the podium. He only had to do about three steps to get there. Jerry Nadler had to do about 12. It's the fastest I've seen Jerry Nadler move, in the 25 years that I've known him," O'Donnell remarked.

Articles of Impeachment Delivered.

U.S. News World and World Report: Impeachment Arrives in the Senate.

House Democrats formally triggered the Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump early Wednesday evening with a solemn ceremony and procession steeped in tradition that transmitted across the Capitol the two articles of impeachment finalized only minutes before.

Breitbart: Nancy Pelosi Uses More than a Dozen Commemorative Pens to Sign ‘Sad’ Articles of Impeachment.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) declared herself “sad” as she used more than a dozen commemorative pens to sign the two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump on Wednesday evening.

The occasion was “so sad, so tragic for our country,” Pelosi told reporters, noting the “difficult time in our country’s history.” She then approached a table that had been prepared with the documents, and two dishes full of pens for her to use — about half a dozen pens in each.

Pelosi then sat and signed the articles, one for “abuse of power” and one for “obstruction of Congress.” She applied each pen, paused every few seconds, switched pens, and then continued.

 

Some DEMS having their own Trump Peach Mint trophy pen so they can gloat? It'll make a nice reminder of another of their many political failures, follies, divisiveness, hatred, drama and inability to accept loss.
