Democrat Folly: First Russian Hacking, then the Electoral College and now Impeachment
I have written, “When your opponent is committing suicide, don’t interfere.”
It appears that Democrats and their affiliates are determined to commit suicide as their rhetoric becomes more outrageous and more outlandish.
After failing to change the 2016 election outcome by pressuring and even threatening members of the Electoral College a new tactic has emerged — impeachment.
The group Common Cause has launched a petition to impeach President-elect Donald J. Trump even before he has been sworn in to office. The basis for impeachment according to the Common Cause website is:
Americans deserve elected officials that are beholden to voters, not outside influences or their own personal financial interests. That’s why we’re worried about the massive conflicts of interest looming over a Trump presidency.
President-elect Trump controls more than 500 businesses, with assets valued at over $1.5 billion. There are simply too many opportunities for Trump to use the powers of his office to increase his personal wealth. The only solution is to sell these assets off and set up a blind trust.
The “conflict of interest” narrative has been picked up by Democrat Senators Elizabeth Warren and Barbara Boxer.
The fakestream media is adding to the hysteria propelled by organizations such Common Cause and Occupy Democrats.
But who is Common Cause?
According to ActivistFacts.com:
Common Cause is a Washington D.C.-based progressive organization that aims to “restore the core values of American democracy,” fighting to combat problems such as political corruption and the control of politics by big money. While Common Cause claims to be a non-partisan “watchdog,” in reality the organization does nothing more than act as a safeguard for the Democratic Party, defending its liberal policies and promoting its agenda.

Calling itself “nonpartisan,” one of the stated “Visions” on Common Cause’s website is to “curb the excessive influence of money on government decisions and elections.” While the organization outwardly claims it wants to reduce big money’s influence in politics, Common Cause continues to accept large contributions from partisan groups and uses that money to promote its partisan agenda. For example, Common Cause has received funding from George Soros’ Open Society Institute; Soros is the eccentric billionaire best known for backing left-wing advocacy groups.
Between 2000 and 2003, Open Society Institute contributed $600,000 to the Common Cause Education Fund, according to a Common Cause spokesperson in 2003. And the American Spectator stated that between 2001 and 2009, the total contribution from Soros’ Open Society to Common Cause was over $1.2 million. Other big money groups that have heavily funded Common Cause include the Joyce Foundation (which President Obama previously served as a Board Member), Arca Foundation, and the Carnegie Corp. of New York.
Cheryl Chumley in an article titled “Donald Trump Detractors Already Raise Idea of Impeachment“:
Donald Trump may have won the necessary number of electors to win the official stamp of presidential approval, but his detractors aren’t backing down, and they’ve already come up with a new way to oust him from the White House: impeachment.
Yes indeed, impeachment – even as he’s not taken over the White House office, yet. Talk about jumping the gun.
From Fox News:
“The Hamilton Electors – the group of electors behind the push to deny Trump 270 votes – published a statement Monday indicating their fight was not over, urging supporters to ‘stay tuned.’
“‘Hamilton Electors hope this watershed moment will lay the groundwork for the emerging grassroots resistance to Trump’s agenda,’ the statement read.
“Texas Republican elector Chris Suprun, who voted for Ohio Gov. John Kasich on Monday, hinted that a push for Trump’s impeachment could be in the works.
“‘As a person who has always played fast and loose with the law, Trump will likely be impeached within the first year of his Presidency by responsible Republicans in Congress. For the rest of us Americans, his presence in the Oval Office represents a crisis for the Constitution, the economy and the country,’ he said in the statement.”
Here’s a thought the far left might want to consider: Could you at least wait until Trump takes office before mulling an impeachment?
The media and Democrats will continue to attack President-elect Trump and then President Trump. They did during the Republican Presidential primary and he won his party’s nomination. They did during the Presidential general election and he won the White House. Jill Stein supported by Hillary Clinton asked for a recount and Trump won with more votes in Wisconsin. The Hamilton electors tried to flip the Electoral College vote and Hillary lost more votes (-5) than Trump (-2) confirming his victory.
Doing the same thing and expecting different results is a form of insanity, the hallmark of the neo-Democrat Party.
