thepoliticalinsider--2020-01-15--Stunning: Democrats Just Blocked a Resolution Condemning Iran For Killing Protesters

House Democrats on Tuesday blocked a vote on a resolution supporting Iranian citizens protesting against the regime and being killed in the process .
Proving once again that there is no level to which the resistance party will not stoop in an effort to block any perception of good coming from this administration .
The resolution , brought forth by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy , would have “ condemned the Government of Iran for killing 1,500 Iranian citizens who were protesting their government , ” according to the Daily Caller .
It would also have “ condemned the Government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Airlines Flight 752 , killing 176 people.
” It was blocked by Democrats in the House by a vote of 226-191 .
Democrats Siding With the Ayatollah Again Isn ’ t it funny that when there is an uprising in the Middle East under Barack Obama it ’ s praised universally and dubbed an ‘ Arab Spring.
’ But when brave protesters take on the hardliners in the Iranian regime under Trump , Democrats abandon them and pretend it isn ’ t real .
Numerous videos have cropped up on social media showing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the crowd of protesters who were calling out the regime for lying about their involvement in shooting down the Ukrainian plane .
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused to admit what the protesters , many of whom were shouting ‘ death to Khomeini , ’ were rising up against .
“ There are different reasons why people are in the street , ” she coldly dismissed .
As you might imagine , several Republicans were outraged over the resolution being blocked .
“ What a disappointment —Democrats just blocked a vote on a resolution @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tweeted .
“ This is not the time for partisan politics .
This should be a time for the US Congress to speak with one voice to condemn an Iranian regime that kills its own people.
” Rep. Tim Burchett ( R-TN ) also took to social media to blast Democrats for being unwilling to take a stand against the Iranian regime .
It would seem like a no-brainer .
You know , Congressman John Rutherford drew a lot of heat after calling Democrats “ Ayatollah sympathizers ” for defending terrorist Qassem Soleimani @ @ @ @ @ @ @ perhaps even more so after they blocked this resolution .
“ It ’ s honestly pretty simple , ” he wrote .
“ If you don ’ t want to be called an Ayatollah sympathizer , don ’ t sympathize with the Ayatollah.
” Democrats ’ vote to block this resolution shows they ’ re still sympathizing with the Ayatollah while offering no sympathy for the Iranian people .

This is happening in Iran & yet Dems blocked @GOPLeader‘s resolution to express our support for these brave protestors. The Iranian regime killed 1,500 of its own people in Nov., initially lied about downing the Ukrainian airliner, & is the lead sponsor of terrorism. Shameful https://t.co/dhwEJUDUX5 — Cong.

Isn’t it funny that when there is an uprising in the Middle East under Barack Obama it’s praised universally and dubbed an ‘Arab Spring.’
But when brave protesters take on the hardliners in the Iranian regime under Trump, Democrats abandon them and pretend it isn’t real.
Numerous videos have cropped up on social media showing police in Iran shooting live ammunition into the crowd of protesters who were calling out the regime for lying about their involvement in shooting down the Ukrainian plane.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused to admit what the protesters, many of whom were shouting ‘death to Khomeini,’ were rising up against.
“There are different reasons why people are in the street,” she coldly dismissed.
The Islamic regime in Iran formed from corrupt thieves. This is a truth that no one can ignore. In addition they spread terrorism in the world.
But why some “Americans” support these corrupt thieves?
This is something that needs serious investigation.#NancyPelosiFakeNews pic.twitter.com/AiOOlwK79M — Afsheen Nariman (@Afsheenn) January 13, 2020

As you might imagine, several Republicans were outraged over the resolution being blocked.
“What a disappointment —Democrats just blocked a vote on a resolution supporting the Iranian protestors,” McCarthy tweeted. “This is not the time for partisan politics. This should be a time for the US Congress to speak with one voice to condemn an Iranian regime that kills its own people.”
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) also took to social media to blast Democrats for being unwilling to take a stand against the Iranian regime.
Why in the world are @HouseDemocrats blocking the @GOPLeader‘s resolution condemning this Iranian regime for obvious human rights violations? This isn’t complicated. Let’s stand up for the same basic right to free speech in Iran that we have here and vote on this resolution. — Rep. Tim Burchett (@RepTimBurchett) January 14, 2020
It would seem like a no-brainer.
You know, Congressman John Rutherford drew a lot of heat after calling Democrats “Ayatollah sympathizers” for defending terrorist Qassem Soleimani.
His defense still rings true, perhaps even more so after they blocked this resolution.
“It’s honestly pretty simple,” he wrote. “If you don’t want to be called an Ayatollah sympathizer, don’t sympathize with the Ayatollah.”
Democrats’ vote to block this resolution shows they’re still sympathizing with the Ayatollah while offering no sympathy for the Iranian people.

When they were allowed in and questioned witnesses , Schiff either wouldn ’ t allow them to answer or told them what to say .
How can they accuse the President of obstruction when the inquiry was not being handled legally in the first place ?
And when they have done nothing but obstruct everything he has tried to do since taking office .
What should happen is Representatives Nancy Pelosi , Adam Schiff , Jerry Nadler , Senators Chuck Schumer , Elizabeth Warren , and the rest of the liberal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and tried for sedition and/or treason , against America and the American people .
Aside from deliberately attacking President Trump even before he was elected they have taken salaries from the American people and has done NOTHING to keep this country safe or to protect its citizens .

thepoliticalinsider--2020-01-15--Pelosi Finally Names Impeachment Managers for Senate Trial

Speaker Pelosi just named the seven Impeachment Managers she has chosen to participate in the Senate impeachment trials .
As comes to no surprise , Pelosi ’ s pick for lead impeachment manager is no other than House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff ( D-Calif. ) .
Schiff also spearheaded the impeachment process in the House .
The remaining six managers include House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler ( N.Y. ) , House Administration Committee Chairwoman Zoe Lofgren ( Calif. ) , and Reps. Hakeem Jeffries ( N.Y. ) , Val Demings ( Fla. ) , Jason Crow ( Colo. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
All of the managers are Democrats .
This could appear as if there ’ s a political agenda at hand because if Pelosi indeed wanted a fair trial wouldn ’ t she split the six managers down the partisan line ?
To be fair , it is the formal job of the managers to present a case for impeachment and removal in the Senate trial .
Since there were no Republicans in the House who voted in favor of impeachment , she had no other choice .
Still , the party-line vote @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just like we ’ ll see in the Senate vote to remove Trump ( which won ’ t happen since you need a two-thirds majority to remove and the GOP has the majority .
These party-line votes are indicative of a bigger issue .
Democrats hate Trump and what he stands for .
Well , not so much what he stands for , but anything that has his name attached ( whether good or bad ) becomes bad because , well , Trump supports it .
RELATED : Meghan McCain And Adam Schiff @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The View ” We ’ ve seen these party-line votes throughout Trump ’ s time in office .
Justice Gorsuch ’ s confirmation in both the Senate Judiciary Committee and the full Senate ?
Party-line vote .
Justice Kavanaugh ’ s confirmation in the Senate Judiciary Committee and the full senate ?
Party-line vote .
The list goes on and it all shows that Democrats still can ’ t get over the fact that they lost in 2016 and will throw themselves on the ground until they get their way which , from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t be for another five years .

Today, I have the privilege of naming the Managers of the impeachment trial of the President. #DefendOurDemocracy pic.twitter.com/Y2613Ni3pC — Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) January 15, 2020
All of the managers are Democrats. This could appear as if there’s a political agenda at hand because if Pelosi indeed wanted a fair trial wouldn’t she split the six managers down the partisan line?

To be fair, it is the formal job of the managers to present a case for impeachment and removal in the Senate trial. Since there were no Republicans in the House who voted in favor of impeachment, she had no other choice.
Still, the party-line vote in the House shows obvious partisanship, just like we’ll see in the Senate vote to remove Trump (which won’t happen since you need a two-thirds majority to remove and the GOP has the majority.
These party-line votes are indicative of a bigger issue. Democrats hate Trump and what he stands for. Well, not so much what he stands for, but anything that has his name attached (whether good or bad) becomes bad because, well, Trump supports it.

We’ve seen these party-line votes throughout Trump’s time in office. Justice Gorsuch’s confirmation in both the Senate Judiciary Committee and the full Senate? Party-line vote.
Justice Kavanaugh’s confirmation in the Senate Judiciary Committee and the full senate? Party-line vote.
The list goes on and it all shows that Democrats still can’t get over the fact that they lost in 2016 and will throw themselves on the ground until they get their way which, from the looks of things, won’t be for another five years.

Look at the wall as a filter. The purpose of the wall is to withhold passage of the bad and safely advance the passage of the good.
“Illegal immigrants will find another way to get in,” Democrats will say. But it’s interesting how Democrats will acknowledge that guns don’t kill people, people kill people…but they still want to ban guns in overreaching fashion. “We have to do something,” they say.
But why don’t they apply that same rationale to the border? Nobody thinks the wall is going to keep every criminal out, but we have to do something, right?

President Trump gave CNN ’ s Jim Acosta a proverbial shushing during an Oval Office press conference , and the far-left reporter quickly obliged .

Parnas is under a federal indictment for making false statements and falsifying records .
Still , a media desperately seeking their smoking gun to oust the President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if they might lead to something .
And Acosta wanted a piece of the action .

“ I don ’ t know him .

He continued with his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clear that the President didn ’ t appreciate Acosta interjecting and said , “ Quiet.
” Having no other choice , Acosta sheepishly complied .

“ Just asked Trump about Parnas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ all about 2020.

” Thus , it ’ s better that he just keep quiet .

President Trump gave CNN’s Jim Acosta a proverbial shushing during an Oval Office press conference, and the far-left reporter quickly obliged.
The President was speaking with journalists about supposed bombshell allegations made by Lev Parnas, an associate to Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani.
Parnas had to find an audience for his imaginative stories with Rachel Maddow of MSNBC because few will give him credibility. Parnas is under a federal indictment for making false statements and falsifying records.
Still, a media desperately seeking their smoking gun to oust the President from office is pursuing his statements as if they might lead to something. And Acosta wanted a piece of the action.
Just asked Trump about Parnas claim that admin efforts in Ukraine were “all about 2020.” Trump insisted he’s only posed for photos with Parnas. Kept repeating that defense. Eventually told me to be “quiet.” Video coming… More to come… — Jim Acosta (@Acosta) January 16, 2020

QUIET!
President Trump was fielding questions when Acosta, as he is known to do, tried desperately to get attention and make the action in the room all about him.
“I don’t know him. I have never had a conversation that I remember with him,” Trump said remarking about his relationship with Parnas.
He continued with his response, but then …
Fox News reports:
It was then that Acosta tried to squeeze in his own questions, asking about Parnas’ claims that former National Security Adviser John Bolton and acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney “knew” about efforts to withhold aid from Ukraine in exchange for announced investigations into the Bidens’ dealings there.
It was clear that the President didn’t appreciate Acosta interjecting and said, “Quiet.”
Having no other choice, Acosta sheepishly complied.

How do you watch that clip and not think, ‘Why is he talking over the President as he’s answering a question?’
Acosta took to Twitter to post his latest ‘Dear Diary’ entry about the incident.
“Just asked Trump about Parnas claim that admin efforts in Ukraine were ‘all about 2020.’ Trump insisted he’s only posed for photos with Parnas. Kept repeating that defense. Eventually told me to be ‘quiet,'” he wrote.
