“I know it’s hard to believe that. But I really am [undecided]. But I have not made a final decision. Every day, I hear something, I think ‘this is compelling, that’s compelling,’” Manchin said. “Everyone’s struggling a little bit.”

The most vulnerable Senate incumbent among Democrats is Jones, who had previously criticized the “obstruction of Congress” article and has said he is “troubled” that House Democrats failed to call White House officials as witnesses.
“I don’t think I’ve totally decided. I certainly have [been] leaning one way or the other. That needle moves” Jones told Politico. “I am leaning in certain ways but I want to hear, I truly, honestly, want to hear the entire trial.”

President Trump has rejected these claims, and took direct aim at Bolton Wednesday morning in a pair of tweets.

A viral video clip of CNN host Don Lemon and a group of liberal panelists mocking supporters of President Trump has been turned into a powerful campaign ad by the Republican National Committee (RNC).
The clip, which originally went unnoticed because it aired on CNN, became a viral craze when a former digital producer for the network shared it on social media a couple of days later.
It features Lemon, New York Times columnist Wajahat Ali, and ex-GOP strategist Rick Wilson, the latter of which mocks the President for being too dumb to locate Ukraine on a map, then descends into mean-spirited jokes at the expense of those who voted for Trump.
Wilson sneered at what he called the “credulous boomer rube demo that backs Donald Trump” and proceeded to imitate them using a southern accent meant to portray half the nation as unintelligent, illiterate ‘rubes.’

Steve Krakauer, the former CNN producer, shared the video of Don Lemon belittling Republican voters and wrote, “If Donald Trump wins re-election this year, I’ll remember this brief CNN segment late one Saturday night in January as the perfect encapsulation for why it happened.”
New York Times best-selling author Cliff Sims suggested the President’s “campaign should just trim this clip down a bit so it can be a 60-second ad and air it in swing states.”
The RNC must have listened, creating a video of Lemon, Wilson, and Ali looking down on Trump supporters, mixed with other famous comments by liberals doing the same.

Warren has, in her zest to play to the prejudices of the extreme hard left, gone all the way to the end of the leftist dial and embraced the theories of national socialism and indeed the brand of authoritarian socialism that ruled in the Soviet Union for decades and continues to hold sway in the modern Democrat ideological homelands of Cuba and Venezuela.
Specifically, Warren said in a press release she wants to make a crime out of “disseminating false information” online and would prosecute tech giants for “false information that disempowers voters and undermines democracy.”
Who would decide what constitutes “false information” and what “disempowers and undermines?”
She would.
In her own words, “I will push for new laws that impose tough civil and criminal penalties for knowingly disseminating this kind of information, which has the explicit purpose of undermining the basic right to vote. The stakes of this election are too high — we need to fight the spread of false information that disempowers voters and undermines democracy,” Warren said. “I’ll do my part — and I’m calling on my fellow candidates and big tech companies to do their part too.”

Perhaps it should be lauded that the Senator has dropped her mask and now fully and publicly supports installing national criminal penalties for opposing what Warren personally deems false and disempowering.

Donald Trump’s White House has issued a threat to former National Security Advisor John Bolton, ordering him to remove “classified information” from his new book.
“Significant Amounts of Classified Information”
On Sunday, the New York Times reported that Bolton’s new book will help the Democrats push their case for the impeachment of President Trump. In the book, Bolton claims that the President did, in fact, delay military aid to Ukraine to pressure them into investigating former Vice President Joe Biden, and his son, Hunter Biden, and their business dealings in the country.
In an email to Bolton’s lawyer, the National Security Council said that from their preliminary review, the manuscript of Bolton’s new book “appears to contain significant amounts of classified information,” with some of this classified information,” being “at the TOP SECRET level.” This is defined by Executive Order 13526 as information that could be “reasonably expected to cause exceptionally grave harm to the national security” of the U.S. if it was released without authorization.
The letter goes onto note that Bolton had signed numerous nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) to be able to gain access to classified information.
“Under federal law and the nondisclosure agreements your client signed… the manuscript may not be published or otherwise disclosed without this classifed information,” the letter argues.

The manuscript is being kept under review, in order to “identify the classified information within” and ensure the “publication does not harm the national security of the United States.” It concludes by saying that the NSC will do their best to ensure Bolton’s “ability to tell his story in a manner that protects U.S. national security.”
“Nasty & Untrue Book”
The President also attacked Bolton on Twitter, saying that he was fired because, “frankly, if I listened to him, we would be in World War Six by now,” and wondering why he would write such a “nasty & untrue” book directly after he had been fired.

The President is spot on. John Bolton is simply mad that he couldn’t start more foreign wars overseas and spill the blood of thousands of American soldiers to make a nice profit for his buddies. This book is nothing more than an expanded temper tantrum, designed to annoy the President and others who hate endless foreign conflict.
If Bolton is found to have broken his NDAs by writing this book, he should be punished to the full extent of the law.

‘The View’ Goes Off The Rails As Impeachment Lawyer Alan Dershowitz ‘Triggers’ Hosts By Defending Trump

The ABC talk show “ The View ” exploded on Wednesday when Alan Dershowitz defended President Donald Trump from the liberal cohosts ’ attacks as they talked about the Senate impeachment trial .
Hosts Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg came particularly unhinged while talking to Dershowitz , with the former calling his arguments “ baloney ” and the latter cutting him off at one point .
When Behar claimed that no other constitutional scholar agreed with his assertion that a crime is necessary for impeachment , Dershowitz tried to give her a quick history lesson .
“ In 18… , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ him off , saying , “ Ok , wait , wait , wait .
Alan , you know , in 1492 Columbus sailed the seas blue but listen , I need us to move on.
” RELATED : Actress Evan Rachel Wood Gets Major Backlash For Calling Kobe Bryant A ‘ Rapist ’ After His Death Dershowitz fired back by saying that he would not move on before he could give some historical context on impeachment , but Goldberg refused to back down .
“ You ’ re not going to get any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to ask you questions , ” she said .
Undeterred , Dershowitz explained to the women that many scholars have taken their current stances on impeachment because of their personal opinions on Trump .
“ Shortly after the Constitution was enacted , the dean of Columbia Law School said that the weight of authority was in favor of it being a crime , ” he said .
“ Now , the academics all say it isn ’ t .
Why ?
Because Donald Trump is being impeached .
If Hillary Clinton was being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on my side.
” This simple argument was enough to cause Behar to lose it .
“ That ’ s just baloney , that ’ s just baloney , ” she exclaimed .
As chaos continued to erupt , Goldberg finally threatened Dershowitz by saying , “ I ’ m moving you on or I ’ m cutting you off — one or the other is going to happen.
” Things only went downhill from there , as “ The View ’ s ” cohosts tried to make Dershowitz look like a hypocrite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which he said that impeachment “ doesn ’ t have to be a crime.
” Though Goldberg accused him of only changing his mind because Trump is the president , Dershowitz countered this by explaining that he actually changed his mind on this point four years ago , when he was looking at the possibility of then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton being impeached if she won the presidency .
Despite the fact that the liberal cohosts were clearly ganging up on him , Dershowitz continued to hold his own .
At one point , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he referenced Abraham Lincoln , saying , “ You have to go back in history .
Impeachment doesn ’ t change since the time of the Constitution.
” “ You should never have an impeachment unless there ’ s broad , widespread , non-partisan support — that doesn ’ t exist here , ” he later added .
Behar , Goldberg , and their fellow liberals have this kind of visceral reaction to Dershowitz because deep down , they know he is right .
This entire impeachment debacle is nothing more than pathetic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has still not gotten over Trump beating Clinton in 2016 .
In the end , the impeachment effort is nothing more than a huge waste of time , as there is virtually no chance of Trump being impeached by the Senate .
All it ’ s accomplishing is showing Americans everywhere just how much anti-Trump hatred leftists have in their hearts .

When Behar claimed that no other constitutional scholar agreed with his assertion that a crime is necessary for impeachment, Dershowitz tried to give her a quick history lesson.
“In 18…,” Dershowitz began before Goldberg rudely cut him off, saying, “Ok, wait, wait, wait. Alan, you know, in 1492 Columbus sailed the seas blue but listen, I need us to move on.”

Dershowitz fired back by saying that he would not move on before he could give some historical context on impeachment, but Goldberg refused to back down.
“You’re not going to get any time because you got four people trying to ask you questions,” she said.
Undeterred, Dershowitz explained to the women that many scholars have taken their current stances on impeachment because of their personal opinions on Trump.
“Shortly after the Constitution was enacted, the dean of Columbia Law School said that the weight of authority was in favor of it being a crime,” he said. “Now, the academics all say it isn’t. Why? Because Donald Trump is being impeached. If Hillary Clinton was being impeached, they’d all be on my side.”

As chaos continued to erupt, Goldberg finally threatened Dershowitz by saying, “I’m moving you on or I’m cutting you off — one or the other is going to happen.”
Things only went downhill from there, as “The View’s” cohosts tried to make Dershowitz look like a hypocrite by playing a 21 year-old clip in which he said that impeachment “doesn’t have to be a crime.” Though Goldberg accused him of only changing his mind because Trump is the president, Dershowitz countered this by explaining that he actually changed his mind on this point four years ago, when he was looking at the possibility of then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton being impeached if she won the presidency.

Behar, Goldberg, and their fellow liberals have this kind of visceral reaction to Dershowitz because deep down, they know he is right. This entire impeachment debacle is nothing more than pathetic vendetta from the Democratic Party, which has still not gotten over Trump beating Clinton in 2016.
In the end, the impeachment effort is nothing more than a huge waste of time, as there is virtually no chance of Trump being impeached by the Senate. All it’s accomplishing is showing Americans everywhere just how much anti-Trump hatred leftists have in their hearts.

When Army combat veteran and telegenic Democrat member of Congress from Hawaii Tulsi Gabbard showed guts by voting “ present ” at last month ’ s House impeachment vote , she must have known she would pay a big price from her fellow Democrats and their lapdog pals in the media .
She was right .

” I believe psychiatrists call that “ projection.
” Though Hillary ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The Left in general has called for her head on a pike , expulsion from the party , and worse , making her attend a beer bash hosted by Elizabeth Warren .
The latest slight is Gabbard ’ s exclusion from a CNN town hall scheduled only a few days before the New Hampshire primary .
Now , there are rules for town hall inclusion that have to do with poll numbers .
Gabbard is polling 5 % in the Granite State .
She is not included .
Yet Democrat Governor Deval @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who are polling lower than she is , are included .
CNN refuses to comment on the topic .
It would be tempting to put on the leftist frock for a moment and scream , “ Sexism !
Misogyny !
” But the actual reason is much easier to ken .
The Democrat media grupenfuhrers will truck with no rebellion , no opposition , or no independence .
This is especially true if the rebel has a national stage and makes a good impression on camera , thus guaranteeing her an audience .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ than that .
Her manner is not hysterical , her tone is not histrionic , her judgment seems sober and reasonable .
While she is too liberal for my taste , what she is doing in the modern Democratic Party is a mystery .
RELATED : GOP Brings Out Three Big Guns in Senate Trial of Trump She represents what that party used to be .
The party of Harry Truman and John Kennedy that was driven into exile long ago by the likes of George McGovern , Ted Kennedy , and now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ocasio-Cortez .
She may not be as moderate or even conservative on many issues as were Truman and Kennedy .
But she has guts .
