therightscoop--2020-01-31--REVEALED: Joe Biden was against witnesses during Clinton impeachment

It ’ s been revealed today that Joe Biden was actually against witnesses during the Clinton impeachment , as were other prominent Democrats at the time : POLITICO – In January 1999 , then-Sen. Joe Biden argued strongly against the need to depose additional witnesses or seek new evidence in a memo sent to fellow Democrats ahead of President Bill Clinton ’ s impeachment trial .
Biden circulated the four-page document , titled “ Arguments in Support of a Summary Impeachment Trial , ” on Jan. 5 , 1999 .
In his memo , obtained by POLITICO , Biden cited @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the establishment of the Senate and asserted “ The Senate need not hold a ‘ full-blown ’ trial .
“ The Senate may dismiss articles of impeachment without holding a full trial or taking new evidence .
Put another way , the Constitution does not impose on the Senate the duty to hold a trial , ” Biden wrote at the time .
The Delaware Democrat added later : “ In a number of previous impeachment trials , the Senate has reached the judgment that its constitutional role as a sole trier @ @ @ @ @ @ @ take new evidence or hear live witness testimony.
” Biden was also worried about “ drawing out ” the impeachment proceedings and how it would affect good ol ’ USA : In 1999 , Biden also said senators should take into account the impact drawing out the impeachment proceedings would have on the country .
“ In light of the extensive record already compiled , it may be that the benefit of receiving additional evidence or live testimony is not great enough to outweigh the public costs ( in terms of national prestige @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . )
of such a proceeding , ” Biden said .
“ While a judge may not take such considerations into account , the Senate is uniquely competent to make such a balance.
” Biden and other Clinton allies — including now-Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer ( D-N.Y. ) — lost the witness fight during that 1999 trial .
The Senate agreed to depose former White House intern Monica Lewinsky , whose affair with Clinton led to just the second presidential impeachment in history , as well as two other witnesses .
Of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ about Republicans , that they were for witnesses before and now are against them .
But the truth is that when the GOP was FOR witnesses , there were actual crimes that Clinton was being charged with , including 11 felonies .
And it was done on a bipartisan basis .
In this case there are no crimes and there is no bipartisanship , yet witnesses must be heard or the Senate trial is corrupt .
Yeah , right .

It’s been revealed today that Joe Biden was actually against witnesses during the Clinton impeachment, as were other prominent Democrats at the time:
POLITICO – In January 1999, then-Sen. Joe Biden argued strongly against the need to depose additional witnesses or seek new evidence in a memo sent to fellow Democrats ahead of President Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial. Biden circulated the four-page document, titled “Arguments in Support of a Summary Impeachment Trial,” on Jan. 5, 1999. In his memo, obtained by POLITICO, Biden cited historical precedents from impeachment cases going back to the establishment of the Senate and asserted “The Senate need not hold a ‘full-blown’ trial. “The Senate may dismiss articles of impeachment without holding a full trial or taking new evidence. Put another way, the Constitution does not impose on the Senate the duty to hold a trial,” Biden wrote at the time. The Delaware Democrat added later: “In a number of previous impeachment trials, the Senate has reached the judgment that its constitutional role as a sole trier of impeachments does not require it to take new evidence or hear live witness testimony.”
Biden was also worried about “drawing out” the impeachment proceedings and how it would affect good ol’ USA:
In 1999, Biden also said senators should take into account the impact drawing out the impeachment proceedings would have on the country. “In light of the extensive record already compiled, it may be that the benefit of receiving additional evidence or live testimony is not great enough to outweigh the public costs (in terms of national prestige, faith in public institutions, etc.) of such a proceeding,” Biden said. “While a judge may not take such considerations into account, the Senate is uniquely competent to make such a balance.” Biden and other Clinton allies — including now-Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) — lost the witness fight during that 1999 trial. The Senate agreed to depose former White House intern Monica Lewinsky, whose affair with Clinton led to just the second presidential impeachment in history, as well as two other witnesses.
Of course, Democrats will say the same about Republicans, that they were for witnesses before and now are against them. But the truth is that when the GOP was FOR witnesses, there were actual crimes that Clinton was being charged with, including 11 felonies. And it was done on a bipartisan basis.
In this case there are no crimes and there is no bipartisanship, yet witnesses must be heard or the Senate trial is corrupt. Yeah, right.


therightscoop--2020-01-31--Trump creates Coronavirus task force and CNN slams it over “lack of a diversity”

Trump is coming under fire again from CNN , this time over a lack of diversity in his Coronavirus task force : Washington ( CNN ) – It ’ s a statement that ’ s as predictable as it is infuriating : President Donald Trump ’ s administration lacks diversity .
On Tuesday , Trump tweeted photos of a briefing he ’ d received on the new coronavirus spreading out of China .
“ We will continue to monitor the ongoing developments , ” the President said in his post .
“ We have the best experts anywhere in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of it 24/7 !
” Who are these experts ?
They ’ re largely the same sort of white men ( and a couple women on the sidelines ) who ’ ve dominated the Trump administration from the very beginning .
By contrast , former President Barack Obama ’ s circle of advisers in the face of the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa was hardly so monochromatic .
Neither was it so abysmal in terms of gender diversity .
( Of course , to contextualize , Obama ’ s administration , on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than Trump ’ s . )
And yet , as unsurprising as the diversity conversation in the Trump era has become , it ’ s still worth pointing out from time to time , especially as the country approaches the 2020 presidential election in earnest .
Seriously , is there nothing Trump can ’ t do that CNN won ’ t criticize ?
And criticize with such disdain , I might add , as the author of this CNN NEWS article makes clear in his first sentence : “ It ’ s a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it is infuriating… ” They just have to paint Trump as a racist every chance they get .
CNN doesn ’ t come right and say it in the article , but that ’ s exactly the point they are making .
Since when is the color of someone ’ s skin a qualification ?
And notice the other point of the article , “ it ’ s still worth pointing out…as the country approaches the 2020 presidential election.
” That ’ s right , they are hoping it will harm Trump in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ make their motivations clear : ‘ Don ’ t vote for Trump because he ’ s a racist.
‘ And CNN wonders why people hate them so…

Trump is coming under fire again from CNN, this time over a lack of diversity in his Coronavirus task force:
Washington (CNN) – It’s a statement that’s as predictable as it is infuriating: President Donald Trump’s administration lacks diversity. On Tuesday, Trump tweeted photos of a briefing he’d received on the new coronavirus spreading out of China. “We will continue to monitor the ongoing developments,” the President said in his post. “We have the best experts anywhere in the world, and they are on top of it 24/7!” Who are these experts? They’re largely the same sort of white men (and a couple women on the sidelines) who’ve dominated the Trump administration from the very beginning. By contrast, former President Barack Obama’s circle of advisers in the face of the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa was hardly so monochromatic. Neither was it so abysmal in terms of gender diversity. (Of course, to contextualize, Obama’s administration, on the whole, was far more diverse than Trump’s.) And yet, as unsurprising as the diversity conversation in the Trump era has become, it’s still worth pointing out from time to time, especially as the country approaches the 2020 presidential election in earnest.
Seriously, is there nothing Trump can’t do that CNN won’t criticize? And criticize with such disdain, I might add, as the author of this CNN NEWS article makes clear in his first sentence: “It’s a statement that’s as predictable as it is infuriating…”
They just have to paint Trump as a racist every chance they get. CNN doesn’t come right and say it in the article, but that’s exactly the point they are making. Since when is the color of someone’s skin a qualification?
And notice the other point of the article, “it’s still worth pointing out…as the country approaches the 2020 presidential election.” That’s right, they are hoping it will harm Trump in this year’s election. They make their motivations clear: ‘Don’t vote for Trump because he’s a racist.‘ And CNN wonders why people hate them so…

President Trump’s ad during the Suepr Bowl didn’t focus on controversies. It didn’t talk about impeachment or witch hunts. It didn’t argue against socialist Democrats.
Instead it attacked the number one gaslighting narrative the media and Democrats are throwing at him: That he has done no good for this country.
Well Alice Marie Johnson has a different take. And her words, highlighting Trump’s success with criminal justice reform, made a powerful ad.

Yeah exactly.
Anyway, Hannity has put out two previews of the big interview. One this morning on Fox & Friends, where he made fun of Mike Bloomberg (itself a national sport), and one this afternoon on the Fox broadcast network.

therightscoop--2020-02-02--WATCH: CNN’s Jake Tapper covers for Chuck Schumer WHILE correcting his blatant, repeated lie

How good is it to be a Democrat on CNN ?
It ’ s so good , that even when you lie so blatantly that even a CNN anchor can ’ t let it go without correction , they will STILL cover for you !
Keep in mind , the clip you are about to see is from the network that constantly runs chyrons calling Trump statements “ false ” or “ lies ” or saying “ Trump says blank is blank .
( It isn ’ t ) ” or even worse , something like this .
No such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ though , when on Friday , after the vote on new witnesses , Schumer said that the impeachment of Trump is a “ sham ” because there were “ no witnesses and no documents.
” ( There were ) Jake Tapper responded by saying “ we should note that Leader Schumer there asserted that there were no witnesses and no documents and that is obviously not the case.
” Now , this isn ’ t a minor correction , as opposed to ZERO witnesses there “ have been more than a dozen witnesses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and “ thousands of pages of documents.
” That ’ s a big correction .
And it wasn ’ t a slip of the tongue , Schumer said it three times , with emphasis , as the thesis and summary of his point .
It wasn ’ t a tertiary point or a calculation error or a misstatement .
It was a crafted , repeated , deliberate , willful lie .
But look how Tapper soft-pedals this humongous disparity , a lie deliberately designed to mislead the public .
He doesn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or A LIE , and he doesn ’ t offer his correction as a direct contradiction to Schumer .
Instead he thinks the network “ should note ” that what Schumer said is “ not the case.
” In fact , the only time the word “ true ” comes up is when Tapper says “ it ’ s true that there ’ s been no Senate impeachment trial without new witnesses , ” and with Blitzer chiming in that they “ voted against it , the combined intended effect of which was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Schumer was basically correct and still has a good point .
So zero witnesses versus “ dozens ” and zero documents versus “ thousands ” and they can ’ t bring themselves to even call Schumer out for it .
THAT ’ S how good it is to be a Democrat on CNN .
The gaslighting is as insidious as it is ubiquitous .

How good is it to be a Democrat on CNN? It’s so good, that even when you lie so blatantly that even a CNN anchor can’t let it go without correction, they will STILL cover for you!
Keep in mind, the clip you are about to see is from the network that constantly runs chyrons calling Trump statements “false” or “lies” or saying “Trump says blank is blank. (It isn’t)” or even worse, something like this.
No such blunt correction for old Chuck Schumer, though, when on Friday, after the vote on new witnesses, Schumer said that the impeachment of Trump is a “sham” because there were “no witnesses and no documents.” (There were)
Jake Tapper responded by saying “we should note that Leader Schumer there asserted that there were no witnesses and no documents and that is obviously not the case.”
“Is not the case”?? It’s a lie, Jake.
Now, this isn’t a minor correction, as opposed to ZERO witnesses there “have been more than a dozen witnesses,” Tapper “noted”, and “thousands of pages of documents.” That’s a big correction.
And it wasn’t a slip of the tongue, Schumer said it three times, with emphasis, as the thesis and summary of his point. It wasn’t a tertiary point or a calculation error or a misstatement. It was a crafted, repeated, deliberate, willful lie.
But look how Tapper soft-pedals this humongous disparity, a lie deliberately designed to mislead the public. He doesn’t ever say it’s NOT TRUE or A LIE, and he doesn’t offer his correction as a direct contradiction to Schumer. Instead he thinks the network “should note” that what Schumer said is “not the case.”
In fact, the only time the word “true” comes up is when Tapper says “it’s true that there’s been no Senate impeachment trial without new witnesses,” and with Blitzer chiming in that they “voted against it, the combined intended effect of which was to render the impression to the viewer that Schumer was basically correct and still has a good point.
So zero witnesses versus “dozens” and zero documents versus “thousands” and they can’t bring themselves to even call Schumer out for it.
THAT’S how good it is to be a Democrat on CNN. The gaslighting is as insidious as it is ubiquitous.

HBO ’ s Bill Maher this weekend bashed Elizabeth Warren over her crazy idea to have her education secretary vetted by , and give veto power over that pick to , a transgender teenager .
Maher called it “ crazy ” on his show on Friday , but only because it a thousand percent is .
“ Is she running for president of Berkeley ?
” he said ?
That ’ s a great question .
But of course , the left thinks HE is crazy for saying that .
More on that after the clip .
Watch : “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I would say there is only two teams now .
Everything that happens on the left goes into the “ blue bin.
” You ’ re the party of this bullshit .
You might be asked about this .
Elizabeth Warren .
What if she ’ s the candidate ?

“ Letting a high school student , forget the transgender part , a high school student have veto power over the cabinet ?
Good idea ?
” Let ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he ’ s a rabid , Trump-despising , Christian-hating leftist .
I point this out not to protect his or our reputation , but to head off at the pass the usual folks who don ’ t seem to get the point of posting about Bill Maher .
The reason is two-fold .
To show that there are some things too stupid even for the left , and because left-on-left violence is always helpful .
But let me back up on “ too stupid even for the left , ” because that doesn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ woke liberal gasbag for Mediaite flipped out on Maher because being woke means you have to say that a teenager deciding who is the best person for a job like education secretary is somehow a GREAT idea as long as that kid is confused about their gender and biology and genetics .
Makes perfect sense .
He said that “ Maher and a bunch of conservative bigots ” are flipping out , called Maher a “ a hostile proven bigot , ” and a “ lost cause ” , and bashed the guests @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and roasting marshmallows over the smoldering husk .
So really the point here is that it doesn ’ t matter how committed you are as a Democrat or a leftist .
If you don ’ t enthusiastically sign on to every insane idea from every pandering , lying weirdo like Warren , then you might as well be Donald Trump in their eyes .
Maher says this kind of crazy is what tanks Democrats .
He sees that as a bad thing , but in truth , it ’ s not just great @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the eventual return to reality and sanity that must inevitably reassert itself in the world .
The nuts have to be exposed .

This is crazy , the Des Moines Register isn ’ t releasing a poll just ahead of the Iowa caucus , just because the Buttigieg campaign complained over ONE survey question in the poll !
More from the Des Moines Register : The Des Moines Register , CNN and Selzer & Co. have made the decision to not release the final installment of the CNN/Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll as planned Saturday evening .

It appears a candidate ’ s name was omitted in at least one interview in which the respondent was asked to name their preferred candidate .

therightscoop--2020-02-02--Rand Paul to Trump: Revoke John Bolton’s security clearance

Rand Paul is making the most out of the moment where everyone is calling John Bolton a traitor and telling the president to revoke his security clearance .
He cites a Real Clear Politics article that doesn ’ t show anyone that is actually in favor of revoking Bolton ’ s security clearance yet : The justification for punitive action in Bolton ’ s case , including revoking his security clearance , would depend on whether Bolton ’ s book contains classified material and whether he moves forward with publication without receiving clearance , Hathaway said .
“ If it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ security clearance would certainly be unjust , ” she told RCP .
Still , Hathaway argued , Bolton would have a difficult time pursuing any legal recourse for a clearance revocation .
“ The Supreme Court has indicated that the president has significant control over granting and revocation of security clearances , though there may be limits to that control that the courts have not yet clarified , ” she said .
Uh , that argument depends on whether he wrote anything with sensitive information in it , but that ’ s the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ So , not the best argument .
I ’ m pretty sure Rand Paul is just animated by his hatred for the policies that John Bolton espouses because they ’ re diametrically opposed to his .
I ’ m not sure that Bolton is literally cashing in on his security clearance , he could clearly write much if not all of the book just based on his experience .
But in general , Rand Paul is right , and we should take care that fewer government officials are able to cash in on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ country .
This is a real test for Trump .
Will he go in with the conspiratorial dunces like Lou Dobbs calling Bolton a traitor and a secret shape-shifting lizard-alien QAnon PizzaGate member of the deep state illuminati ?
We shall see .
Place your bets .
That ’ s it for today .
I hope you ’ re having a great weekend so far .
Have an open thread !
Here ’ s your comment fodder :

Rand Paul is making the most out of the moment where everyone is calling John Bolton a traitor and telling the president to revoke his security clearance.

But in general, Rand Paul is right, and we should take care that fewer government officials are able to cash in on their service to the detriment of the country.
This is a real test for Trump. Will he go in with the conspiratorial dunces like Lou Dobbs calling Bolton a traitor and a secret shape-shifting lizard-alien QAnon PizzaGate member of the deep state illuminati? We shall see. Place your bets.

therightscoop--2020-02-01--Rashida Tlaib apologizes for insulting Queen Hillary, but liberals are still attacking each other

This just can ’ t get any better .
So earlier we posted about how Rashida Tlaib insulted Queen Hillary , and all her scuzzy little minions crawled out from under their slimy rocks to toss insults at Tlaib .
Well she ’ s been slapped around enough that she was forced to apologize : The rest of her statement : However , I know what is at stake if we don ’ t unify over one candidate to beat Trump and I intend to do everything possible to ensure that Trump does not win in 2020 .
In this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Secretary Clinton ’ s latest comments about Senator Sanders and his supporters get the best of me .
You all , my sisters-in-service on stage , and our movement deserve better .
I will continue to strive to come from a place of love and not react in the same way of those who are against what we are building in this country .
This is about building a just and equitable future for my two boys , children across the country , and future generations .
And of course that occasioned another @ @ @ @ @ @ @ left commie progressives of the party and the centrist establishment commie democrats of the party !
Oooooh I think we all know the answer .
It ’ s a word that starts with an “ R ” and ends with an “ ACISM !
!
!
!
” LOL !
!
I ’ m sure there are plenty of Trump fans who can get behind wanting to take down Rashida Tlaib !
Awww , the country is gon na hug it out over their hatred of Rashida Tlaib .
Feel the love .

This just can’t get any better. So earlier we posted about how Rashida Tlaib insulted Queen Hillary, and all her scuzzy little minions crawled out from under their slimy rocks to toss insults at Tlaib. Well she’s been slapped around enough that she was forced to apologize:
My statement regarding last night:
“I am so incredibly in love with the movement that our campaign of #NotMeUs has created. This makes me protective over it and frustrated by attempts to dismiss the strength and diversity of our movement. (1/4) — Rashida Tlaib (@RashidaTlaib) February 1, 2020
The rest of her statement:
However, I know what is at stake if we don’t unify over one candidate to beat Trump and I intend to do everything possible to ensure that Trump does not win in 2020. In this instance, I allowed my disappointment with Secretary Clinton’s latest comments about Senator Sanders and his supporters get the best of me. You all, my sisters-in-service on stage, and our movement deserve better. I will continue to strive to come from a place of love and not react in the same way of those who are against what we are building in this country. This is about building a just and equitable future for my two boys, children across the country, and future generations.
And of course that occasioned another round of angry recriminations between the far left commie progressives of the party and the centrist establishment commie democrats of the party!
Love it.
Reminder that Republicans helped cover up Trump's crimes and abuse of power yesterday. Trump will cheat and get worse leading up to 2020. That should take priority over Rashida Tlaib booing Clinton. She also apologized. Great. Manufactured outrage only helps Trump. Move on. — Wajahat Ali (@WajahatAli) February 1, 2020
I get why @RashidaTlaib’s booing resonates, but why aren’t @MMFlint’s attacks on Biden, Kerry and Clinton as a bunch of losers — and his encouragement of the “Fuck Bloomberg” crowd shouts — also resonating? https://t.co/1v93Uq6N9O pic.twitter.com/ohBtzbZE9M — Paul Heintz (@paulheintz) February 1, 2020

hillary clinton: bernie is a piece of shit

rashida tlaib: boo
libs: this is deeply fucked up and so typical of white men, apologize until you die traitor — Abe Goldfarb (@AbeGoldfarb) February 1, 2020
She coulda just apologized but no @RashidaTlaib still taking swipes at Hillary Clinton for speaking the truth about Bernie Sanders. Fuck Rashida Tlaib & her mediocre buffoonish mean girl squad. Fuck Bernie. Fuck them. — Lynn V (@lynnv378) February 1, 2020
If you are going after @RashidaTlaib for booing @HillaryClinton who isnt even running, but not going after Hillary for attacking @BernieSanders and @TulsiGabbard who are running, maybe its you thats trying to help @realDonaldTrump win 🤔 — Michael R. Weinstein, Bookseller #EndTheOligarchy (@fToRrEeEsSt) February 1, 2020

The New York Times said three current or former U.S. officials “ expressed confidence ” that Qasim al-Raymi , the emir of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula ( AQAP ) , was killed in Yemen , although there was no official confirmation .
U.S. forces @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and there was a $ 10 million price on his head .

Now , Trump definitely is the kind to spike the football long before the touchdown is confirmed , BUT he ’ s also the guy who would have at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ report like this is true or not .
Here ’ s a news report on the scumbag from a while back : Hopefully , the military will be able to confirm the killing of another evil terror threat .

This report came out last night but it wasn’t completely confirmed – it looks like el presidente is kinda confirming through his retweets. First, he retweeted this report:
U.S. killed a top al-Qaeda leader in Yemen, reports say https://t.co/MVV9dTl721 via @Yahoo — Sean D. Naylor (@SeanDNaylor) January 31, 2020
From Yahoo News:
The leader of al-Qaida’s Yemen branch is believed to have been killed in a U.S. airstrike earlier this year. The New York Times said three current or former U.S. officials “expressed confidence” that Qasim al-Raymi, the emir of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), was killed in Yemen, although there was no official confirmation. U.S. forces had been tracking al-Raymi for months, and there was a $10 million price on his head. It is unclear whether the strike was carried out by the U.S. military or the CIA. Spokespersons for U.S. Central Command, the National Security Council and the CIA declined to comment.
And then he retweeted a few parts of a thread from a director of an intelligence group.
3)Breaking: It appears that Qasim al-Rimi, leader of the Yemen-based #AQAP, was the individual targeted & killed in a U.S. drone strike on Saturday, January 25 in Wadi Ubaidah, east of #Sanaa – a longtime stronghold for the group. AQAP has yet to officially confirm his death. pic.twitter.com/ohDcH2d8wz — Rita Katz (@Rita_Katz) January 30, 2020
4)If true, and it seems to be, the dead of al-Rimi would mark a major blow to #AlQaeda on the whole. Al-Rimi was a candidate for succeeding AQ leader Zawahiri. — Rita Katz (@Rita_Katz) January 30, 2020
6)Of all living #AlQaeda leaders, al-Rimi was the most compelling, known for his charisma & beloved across the AQ community. #AQAP in Yemen has a longstanding history as being the most directly symbiotic w/ AQC. Thus, this is not only a blow to #AQAP but to AQ as a whole. — Rita Katz (@Rita_Katz) January 31, 2020
Now, Trump definitely is the kind to spike the football long before the touchdown is confirmed, BUT he’s also the guy who would have at hand the most information about whether a report like this is true or not.
Here’s a news report on the scumbag from a while back:
Hopefully, the military will be able to confirm the killing of another evil terror threat.

I don ’ t @ @ @ @ @ what a revolution it has been for the world to have fracking open up previously @ @ @ @ @ has irrevocably changed the balance of power in the Middle East since the U.S. no @ @ @ @ @ our dependence on our allies for energy .

SO why are idiots like Bernie Sanders and @ @ @ @ @ ?
They really are just knee-jerk socialists who hate industry .
And they ’ re @ @ @ @ @ they actually advocate policies that are self-defeating .
Just amazing .

The great Dan Crenshaw issued a slapdown on Bernie Sanders and AOC over their idiotic policy promise to ban fracking if the US is unfortunate enough to elect him president.
This 👏 will 👏 increase 👏 emissions 👏 and 👏 make 👏 Russia 👏 an 👏 energy 👏 superpower 👏
But hey, don’t let facts and science get in the way of some good ol fashion virtue signaling. https://t.co/SYGTvQs8rR — Rep. Dan Crenshaw (@RepDanCrenshaw) February 3, 2020
He’s right. I don’t think people recognize enough just what a revolution it has been for the world to have fracking open up previously untappable oil resources. This has irrevocably changed the balance of power in the Middle East since the U.S. no longer has to worry about our dependence on our allies for energy. This has meant more wealth and prosperity for every American, and improved living conditions on a global scale.
There’s a great article that explains just how the innovation of fracking has changed the world.
SO why are idiots like Bernie Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez trying to ban fracking? They really are just knee-jerk socialists who hate industry. And they’re so stupid about it that they actually advocate policies that are self-defeating. Just amazing.


therightscoop--2020-02-03--Manchin is now proposing the Senate CENSURES Trump

Senator Manchin makes it sound like he ’ ll vote to acquit Trump on Wednesday , but is now calling @ @ @ @ @ Trump : While we do have some RINOs who would probably go for that idea @ @ @ @ @ the proposal down : Kerpen agrees this is “ way too late ” : Even @ @ @ @ @ t foresee this as having any chance of going forward : So unless something changes @ @ @ @ @ on arrival .
But we ’ ll let you know if this turns into something…

Senator Manchin makes it sound like he’ll vote to acquit Trump on Wednesday, but is now calling for the Senate to censure Trump:
Just reported on @MSNBC: Sen. Joe Manchin, on the Senate floor moments ago, has called for a censure vote of President Trump for his conduct with Ukraine. — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) February 3, 2020
Manchin: "I see no path to the 67 votes required to impeach President Trump and haven't since this trial started. However, I do believe a bipartisan majority of this body would vote to censure President Trump for his actions in this matter." — Craig Caplan (@CraigCaplan) February 3, 2020
While we do have some RINOs who would probably go for that idea, Republicans are apparently shooting the proposal down:
Sen. Joe Manchin proposes censure as an option for the Senate to take against Trump. Every Republican I spoke to summarily shot down that idea today. "Too late. It's too late," Sen. Roy Blunt said. — Sarah D. Wire (@sarahdwire) February 3, 2020
Kerpen agrees this is “way too late”:
Way too late. Dems had leverage for censure pre-impeachment https://t.co/tC15WiPK9G — Phil Kerpen (@kerpen) February 3, 2020
Even this Politico reporter doesn’t foresee this as having any chance of going forward:
/6 Manchin goes full Feinstein and pushes a censure resolution. And like Feinstein's censure resolution in 1999, this won't go anywhere — John Bresnahan (@BresPolitico) February 3, 2020
So unless something changes, this is probably dead on arrival. But we’ll let you know if this turns into something…

Or the American people for that matter @ @ @ @ @ ’ s full of Schiff and this just confirms it .

Adam Schiff has reached such levels of desperation that he’s now embarrassing himself as he makes closing arguments for why Trump must be impeached for abuse of power:
Adam Schiff: If Trump isn't removed he "could offer Alaska to the Russians in exchange for support in the next election or decide to move to Mar-a-Lago permanently and leave Jared Kushner to run the country, delegating to him the decision whether they go to war." pic.twitter.com/VBzkonqpmH — Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) February 3, 2020
Here’s a better transcript of what he says:
If abuse of power is not impeachable…then a whole range of utterly unacceptable conduct in a president would now be beyond reach. Trump could offer Alaska to the Russians in exchange for support in the next election. Or decide to move to Mar-a-Lago permanently and leave Jared Kushner to run the country, delegating to him the decision whether to go to war.
Schiff is so deranged he’s trying to paint Trump as some out-of-control dictator based on Dershowitz’s arguments last week, suggesting this could be the result of Trump isn’t impeached. It’s absurd and that’s a gross understatement.
Does Schiff really think that any of the Republican Senators is gonna buy this? Or the American people for that matter? We all know he’s full of Schiff and this just confirms it.

Six people were injured early this morning when a man opened fire on a Greyhound bus traveling through the state of California. The shooter is in custody:
NBC NEWS – Six people were injured in a shooting on a Greyhound bus traveling from Los Angeles to the Bay Area early Monday morning, officials said. An unidentified man was taken into custody, according to California Highway Patrol communications supervisor Steve Loftus. Investigators have not determined a motive. Police began getting calls from passengers on the bus, traveling on Interstate 5, at about 1:30 a.m. local time, Loftus said. The bus had left Los Angeles about an hour earlier and following the shooting, the bus driver pulled off at the nearest exit, in Grapevine, south of Bakersfield. About 40 people were on the bus, headed for the San Francisco-Oakland area, Loftus said. The six victims suffered injuries ranging from moderate to critical. Some were airlifted to the hospital.
I’m not seeing any information that would shed light on how the shooter was caught. I’m guessing there must’ve been some heroism involved subduing this man since there were 40 people people on the bus and only six of them were shot.
I’m also not seeing any other information on the suspect himself. Even though this happened around 4:30 ET, it took several hours for the information to hit Twitter and there just isn’t much out there on it right now.

therightscoop--2020-02-04--‘No one gives a f**k!’ – Liz Warren organizer caught on video trashing transgender cause

This is pretty great .
Project Veritas got video of a Liz Warren field organizer angrily cursing out the transgender cause because it was burying the campaign .
“ At the end of the day if we ’ re gon na prioritize pronouns over making sure people have a decent standard of living , that ’ s wrong , ” Warren campaign Iowa field organizer Angel Alicea said in a video published Monday by Project Veritas .
Alicea is referencing a relatively recent emphasis on the use of people ’ s chosen pronouns , rather than assuming the pronoun of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ come from where I come from , no one gives a f*** about a godd**n pronoun .
They want to know how you ’ re gon na create a job.
” “ I ’ m like here for the pronoun thing , but I feel like I shouldn ’ t have to say ‘ he/him/his , ” Alicea said .
“ Like shouldn ’ t it just be implied ?
… Like I ’ ve been called out for saying something like that , but this is why we lose elections , because @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like that.
” O ’ Keefe was smart to release this now .
Warren is on the ropes and if she doesn ’ t do well in Iowa , it could knock out her campaign completely .
And that could help out Bernie immensely…

This is pretty great. Project Veritas got video of a Liz Warren field organizer angrily cursing out the transgender cause because it was burying the campaign.
Wow. From the Blaze:
“At the end of the day if we’re gonna prioritize pronouns over making sure people have a decent standard of living, that’s wrong,” Warren campaign Iowa field organizer Angel Alicea said in a video published Monday by Project Veritas. Alicea is referencing a relatively recent emphasis on the use of people’s chosen pronouns, rather than assuming the pronoun of their biological gender. “When you come from where I come from, no one gives a f*** about a godd**n pronoun. They want to know how you’re gonna create a job.”
And more:
“I’m like here for the pronoun thing, but I feel like I shouldn’t have to say ‘he/him/his,” Alicea said. “Like shouldn’t it just be implied? … Like I’ve been called out for saying something like that, but this is why we lose elections, because we’re zeroing in on s*** like that.”
O’Keefe was smart to release this now. Warren is on the ropes and if she doesn’t do well in Iowa, it could knock out her campaign completely. And that could help out Bernie immensely…

Senator Lisa Murkowski rebuked Trump’s actions while announcing that she would vote against his removal, and there is an epic liberal meltdown on twitter.
Yes, @lisamurkowski, the media made Trump engage in attempted extortion and obstruction, and then then you had to vote to acquit because journalists wouldn't stop reporting on stuff.
You hear that a lot in places like Turkey and Russia, too. It's a global problem, really. https://t.co/3kGRK8XJgu — Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) February 4, 2020

Caleb’s right, the exchange is epic. Upon finding out that Buttigieg is gay, the woman promptly responded “Then I don’t want anybody like that in the White House” and asked for her vote back.
When they began to discuss it, the woman told the Precinct Captain that Buttigieg should read the Bible. When the PC told the woman that he’s a Christian and does read the Bible, the woman asks “why does it say in the Bible that a man should marry a woman then?” Boom!
When the PC asked the woman to consider that it really shouldn’t matter if it’s a man, woman, gay or straight candidate if you believe in what they say, the woman responded “it all just went right down the toilet.”

He’s right. As soon as Trump mentioned Easter as a possible day for lifting some of these coronavirus restrictions to get the economy back going again, the media ran with it like he’d set it in stone. And when they were reporting it or asking Trump about it, it was always as though he was at odds with his task force over it as if he was forcing it on them despite their disapproval.
It was a media manufactured controversy and now that it’s not going to happen they are claiming Trump is ‘now’ saying it was only aspirational. What a pathetic group of people…


therightscoop--2020-03-30--“They do it, we do it” – Trump downplays Chinese, Russian campaign to blame US for coronavirus

This morning Brian Kilmeade asked Trump about a report in the Washington Post that claims Russia , Iran , and China are now working on a sophisticated disinformation campaign to blame the United States for the coronavirus outbreak : Because it was reported in the Washington Post , Trump first claims that he doesn ’ t believe it because they reports so much fake news : “ Number one you don ’ t know what they ’ re doing , and when you read it in the ‘ Washington Post ’ you don ’ t believe it .
I believe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I see stories in the ‘ Washington Post ’ that are so fake and are so phony .
I have stories that are such fake stuff and that ’ s number one.
” When pressed on it by Kilmeade , suggesting that we know China has already done this , Trump downplayed it : “ I said they do it and we do it and we call them different things , and you know , I make statements that are very strong against China , including the Chinese virus , which has been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I mean , I wouldn ’ t say they were thrilled with that statement , where they said our soldiers did it .
They said our soldiers did it .
I said you mean the Chinese virus ?
And all of a sudden they call and they say let ’ s talk nicely .
Yeah , sure that ’ s — hey , every country does it but they build it up and we handle that and they probably handle it but countries do that… ” Trump again cast doubt on the accuracy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be just the opposite… But when I read things in the ‘ Washington Post ’ I can tell you stories that they write that are just the opposite .
They will do anything they can to hurt this presidency , and yet , here we are with the best numbers we ’ ve ever had .
I don ’ t even understand it , when you can get such fake news from so many .
‘ New York Times ’ is a totally dishonest paper , they are dishonest people .
‘ Washington @ @ @ @ @ @ @ m trying to figure out for three and a half years , who is more dishonest and corrupt , the ‘ Washington Post ’ or the ‘ New York Times ’ ?
When I figure it out I ’ ll let you know .
We ’ ll have a special.
” Trump was upset that the Chinese blamed the Wuhan flu on US soldiers , which he mentioned here again .
But he ’ s clearly not convinced that Russia , Iran , and China are working together to blame the US for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ true , he doesn ’ t seem very concerned about it .

This morning Brian Kilmeade asked Trump about a report in the Washington Post that claims Russia, Iran, and China are now working on a sophisticated disinformation campaign to blame the United States for the coronavirus outbreak:
Because it was reported in the Washington Post, Trump first claims that he doesn’t believe it because they reports so much fake news:
“Number one you don’t know what they’re doing, and when you read it in the ‘Washington Post’ you don’t believe it. I believe very little when I see it. I see stories in the ‘Washington Post’ that are so fake and are so phony. I have stories that are such fake stuff and that’s number one.”
When pressed on it by Kilmeade, suggesting that we know China has already done this, Trump downplayed it:
“I said they do it and we do it and we call them different things, and you know, I make statements that are very strong against China, including the Chinese virus, which has been going on for a long time. I mean, I wouldn’t say they were thrilled with that statement, where they said our soldiers did it. They said our soldiers did it. I said you mean the Chinese virus? And all of a sudden they call and they say let’s talk nicely. Yeah, sure that’s — hey, every country does it but they build it up and we handle that and they probably handle it but countries do that…”
Trump again cast doubt on the accuracy of the article, suggesting reality might be just the opposite…
But when I read things in the ‘Washington Post’ I can tell you stories that they write that are just the opposite. They will do anything they can to hurt this presidency, and yet , here we are with the best numbers we’ve ever had. I don’t even understand it, when you can get such fake news from so many. ‘New York Times’ is a totally dishonest paper, they are dishonest people. ‘Washington Post’ same thing. I’m trying to figure out for three and a half years, who is more dishonest and corrupt, the ‘Washington Post’ or the ‘New York Times’? When I figure it out I’ll let you know. We’ll have a special.”
