This week reached the apex, or abyss of Democrat stupidity. Why in the world would Congress bring in a convicted tax cheat and perjurer to give testimony on anything? Only when that something is President Trump. At the end of the day, Cohen essentially admitted that no, he had not been to Prague, and he had no evidence whatsoever of collusion with the Russian government. After all the money spent trying to tie the President to non-existent collusion, all we have to show for it is Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen. Oh, and the shocking revelation that Paul Manafort cooked the books with his real estate deals.
It should be obvious after the Cohen hearing and laughable spectacle of the three stooges Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, and anti-Semite Rashida Tlaib at the same dais, that Congress is not a Mensa convention.
Through all of this, what has that scoundrel Trump been up to?

Excellent article Wayne!
Carla Jasper says
Go Trump! Some of us have your back. Thank you for the facts Wayne. Sorely needed and repeated often I hope.
Doug Luther says
And what has the democratic party done. Trying to stop cows from farting, listening to a convicted felon with no merit and how to spent 93 trillion dollars in a green plan that eliminates jobs and way of life.
What if you can make the same amount of money if you didn’t go to work? Who is going to teach the children, defend us against crime and foreign powers? Who would go to work to give us the basics to live? The democratic party?
Come on Democrats get your head out the cow farts and get back into the intellect world. You were voted in for the people by the people and the United States Constitution.
The Democratic party has become one big joke!
Paul Plante says
What follows is an excerpt from the published transcript of the BLOCKBUSTER testimony of the lying, scumbag lawyer Michael Cohen before the Clown-o-cracy in Washington, D.C. the other day:
TESTIMONY OF MICHAEL D. COHEN
COMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT AND REFORM U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
FEBRUARY 27, 2019
Chairman Cummings, Ranking Member Jordan, and Members of the Committee, thank you for inviting me here today.
I am here under oath to correct the record, to answer the Committee’s questions truthfully, and to offer the American people what I know about President Trump.
I hope my appearance here today, my guilty plea, and my work with law enforcement agencies are steps along a path of redemption that will restore faith in me and help this country understand our president better.
The last time I appeared before Congress, I came to protect Mr. Trump.
Today, I’m here to tell the truth about Mr. Trump.
Mr. Trump did not directly tell me to lie to Congress.
That’s not how he operates.
It is painful to admit that I was motivated by ambition at times.
It is even more painful to admit that many times I ignored my conscience and acted loyal to a man when I should not have.
Sitting here today, it seems unbelievable that I was so mesmerized by Donald Trump that I was willing to do things for him that I knew were absolutely wrong.
For that reason, I have come here to apologize to my family, to the government, and to the American people.
Accordingly, let me now tell you about Mr. Trump.
I got to know him very well, working very closely with him for more than 10 years, as his Executive Vice President and Special Counsel and then personal attorney when he became President.
When I first met Mr. Trump, he was a successful entrepreneur, a real estate giant, and an icon.
Being around Mr. Trump was intoxicating.
When you were in his presence, you felt like you were involved in something greater than yourself — that you were somehow changing the world.
I wound up touting the Trump narrative for over a decade.
That was my job.
Always stay on message.
Always defend.
It monopolized my life.
Mr. Trump is an enigma.
He is complicated, as am I.
He has both good and bad, as do we all.
Donald Trump is a man who ran for office to make his brand great, not to make our country great.
He had no desire or intention to lead this nation – only to market himself and to build his wealth and power.
Mr. Trump would often say, this campaign was going to be the “greatest infomercial in political history.”
He never expected to win the primary.
He never expected to win the general election.
The campaign – for him – was always a marketing opportunity.

Assuming Cohen was actually being truthful there, if all Trump’s candidacy ever was, was a marketing opportunity, a great infomercial, and he never expected to win, and didn’t care about winning, then why on earth would he need to collude with the Russians?
A friend says
The “Left” is imploding and eating their own…
Enjoy the show!
Paul Plante says
More like the “Left” exploding with bull**** all over the place, slinging criminal charges against Trump by the bucket full, all based on the 27 February 2019 testimony before Democrat Elijah “The Prophet” Cumming’s Committee On Oversight And Reform of the Democrat’s favorite lying ex-lawyer (the dude got kicked out of the trade in NY for getting caught) Michael Cohen, who incidentally admitted that he was a Democrat during the hearing with his political confreres, where he told the world, under oath, as follows:
Chairman Cummings, Ranking Member Jordan, and Members of the Committee, thank you for inviting me here today.
I am here under oath to correct the record, to answer the Committee’s questions truthfully, and to offer the American people what I know about President Trump.
Donald Trump is a man who ran for office to make his brand great, not to make our country great.
He had no desire or intention to lead this nation – only to market himself and to build his wealth and power.
Mr. Trump would often say, this campaign was going to be the “greatest infomercial in political history.”
He never expected to win the primary.
He never expected to win the general election.
The campaign – for him – was always a marketing opportunity.

Do you need a Juris Doctor degree from Harvard to understand that?
Is it really that complex?
And it must be, this according to a breaking CNBC story entitled “House Democrats launch sweeping corruption probe into Trump and the White House” by Kevin Breuninger on 4 MARCH 2019, where we learn (cue BIG FANFARE) that the House Judiciary Committee of Democrat “Jumping Jerry” Nadler has launched a large-scale investigation into President Donald Trump’s potential abuses of power, sending out requests for documents to 81 individuals and entities, including the president’s sons.
For those who don’t know him, Jerrold Lewis “Jumping Jerry” Nadler, born June 13, 1947, is an American attorney and politician who serves as the U.S. Representative from New York’s 10th congressional district serving since 1992 and is a member of the Democratic Party, so the dude is clearly a political survivor of the corrupt world of New York politics, so you can bet he knows how to bite and gouge and throw knuckles and boot stomp with the best of them, so Trump is going to have his hands full with this dude, and that is a fact.
He isn’t called “Jumping Jerry” for nothing, afterall.
As to “Jumping Jerry’s” home turf, his district, numbered as the 17th District from 1992 to 1993 and as the 8th District from 1993 to 2013, includes the west side of Manhattan from the Upper West Side down to Battery Park, including the World Trade Center as well as the Manhattan neighborhoods of Chelsea, Hell’s Kitchen, and Greenwich Village, as well as parts of Brooklyn such as Coney Island, Bensonhurst, Borough Park, and Bay Ridge.
“Jumping Jerry” was born in Brooklyn, New York City, so he is a real “home-town boy makes good,” as well as a native son of New York City, which are necessary street creds to have down there if you want to get ahead in politics, as “Jumping Jerry” Nadler so clearly has done, having gained the political power to put a choke chain around the neck of a sitting American president with a leash attached so “Jumping Jerry” can jerk the president to heel when “Jumping Jerry,” the presidential overseer, does not like what Trump is doing.
With regard to public virtue, in “Jumping Jerry” Nadler, people, we have a man who was student government president at Stuyvesant High School in 1965, so we are looking at a proven achiever here, but it doesn’t end there because he went on to receive his B.A. degree from Columbia University, where he became a brother of Alpha Epsilon Pi, in 1969, receiving his J.D. degree from Fordham University School of Law while serving in the New York State Assembly in 1978.
Getting back to the CNBC “Breaking News,” it continues as follows:
The probe (by Jerry Nadler) will focus on three main topics: alleged obstruction of justice by Trump and others and the “alleged cover-up of violations of the law”; alleged corruption in areas including violations of the Constitution’s emoluments clause “and other criminal misuses of official positions for personal gain”; and alleged abuses of power, such as attacking the press and misusing the presidential pardon power.
“Over the last several years, President Trump has evaded accountability for his near-daily attacks on our basic legal, ethical, and constitutional rules and norms,” House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said in a press release.
“Investigating these threats to the rule of law is an obligation of Congress and a core function of the House Judiciary Committee,” said Nadler, whose committee is in charge of passing articles of impeachment in the House.
Nadler had said on ABC News’ “This Week” a day earlier that he believes Trump has “very clearly” obstructed justice.

And stop right there, Jerry Nadler, dude!
Besides from out of your ***, where are you pulling that mealy-mouthed crap from?
Being curious about that as an American citizen who is not stupid, who is older than Jerry Nadler and thus quite a bit wiser, and who is wondering just what in the hell is going on here, given the statement of Rep. Jordan during the 27 February 2019 Cohen Hearing that is the basis of “Jumping Jerry” Nadler’s laundry list of criminal charges against Trump, that “Lanny Davis put this all together,” and it’s the first time a “convicted perjurer has been brought back to be a star witness in a hearing … no other committee would do it,” I went to the official website of the House Judiciary Committee, https://judiciary.house.gov/about/chairman-jerrold-nadler , and what I found out is that it is really all about selling “Jumping Jerry” Nadler as the only honest-to-gosh true American hero we have in this country anymore, which is great for fund-raising, and fund-raising for a survivor politician is what it is all about.
So what does the official website of the House Judiciary Committee tell us about Chairman Jerrold Nadler?
“Jerry Nadler not only represents New York well, but he has represented the United States very well.”
— President Bill Clinton, 42nd President of the United States
So how about that, people – pretty impressive, isn’t?
I mean, an endorsement like that from an American president does not come along every day, does it?
But it don’t stop there, people, that is how really great this one man really is, to wit:
Fighting for Civil Rights, LGBT Rights, Women’s Rights
“Jerry Nadler is a staunch defender of civil rights and civil liberties in America, and a passionate advocate for these issues in Congress.”
— Representative John Lewis (D-GA), Civil Rights leader

— Kate Michaelman, former president of NARAL Pro-Choice America
“Jerry Nadler is a gifted constitutional scholar and the conscience of the House.”

“[Congressman] Nadler was Silicon Alley’s earliest serious political defenders.”
— Silicon Alley Reporter Magazine
“The nation knows him as a protector of civil liberties, defender of women’s rights, promoter of access to health care and an expert on Middle East policy, but in addition to all of that we know him as a champion of another group that the law has left behind and that’s music creators.”
— Neil Portnow, President and CEO of the Recording Academy (GRAMMYs)
“From his first days in politics, Nadler has been a true reformer… From defending abortion access to fighting for the environment and the arts, Nadler has done the right thing time after time.”
— New York Daily News

That, people, is what you get when you go to the official website of “Jumping Jerry” Nadler’s Judiciary Committee website to find out what its real purpose is, why it exists – a bunch of political endorsements of Jerry Nadler.
Now, is that horse**** and a waste of our public resources for partisan political purposes?
Or what?
Harry Reid says
You mean 3 years of a covering up the tracks left by 8 years of barry?
Sara says
So after with you…do not understand why the American people with common sense would even think about believing a convicted liar. Waste of time and money.
Please tell me why Wasserman a convicted woman that rigged voting is even on Capital Hill and questioning anyone?
Is there not an ethics committee? Waste of time.
The democrats for 3 yrs have not done one job for the people. All they do is spend t one bashing our President. Being paid for doing nothing.
President Trump should be left a lone to continue to do his job w/o the headaches of the democrats.
Paul Plante says
One has to seriously wonder what kind of deleterious effect that gonzo nationally-televised DEMOCRAT SLIME JOB SPECTACULAR EXTRAVAGANZA staged by Lanny Davis and Elijah “The Prophet” Cummings starring the slime-ball lying ex-lawyer and Democrat Michael Cohen had on that Trump-Kim summit in Viet Nam the same day.
Now, it is true that historically the Democrats have demeaned and seriously under-estimated the “little brown people” as they call them, with Democrat Lyndon Baines Johnson calling Viet Nam a “raggedy-ass nation ,” the Democrat’s equivalent of “****-hole,” but truth of the matter is that those people are very politically astute, and they know that Trump can’t do a deal by himself, he has to have the Congress, and clearly based on that SHAMEFUL CHARADE, he doesn’t, and why should the North Koreans do a deal with Trump when he might be being impeached.
