Guest essay by Eric Worrall
h/t Breitbart; Senator Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) let the cat out of the bag in a hearing on Thursday, expressing outrage that President Trump would ridicule Time Magazine choosing Greta Thunberg as person of the year.
…
This is a president that attacks everybody to distract. He attacks everybody who won’t bend the knee to Donald J. Trump. He attacked John McCain, a war hero. He attacked Mitt Romney, 2012 Republican nominee. He’s attacked Bob Mueller, a Marine and distinguished professional in law enforcement. He attacked your former Speaker Paul Ryan. He attacks Gold Star families. He even attacked today a 16-year-old teenage activist, Greta Thunberg.
All this in response to President Trump’s disdain for our little climate messiah;
“Are you here to defend that as well?” Jeffries asked his Republican colleagues about their arguments that Trump did nothing impeachable.

President Trump ridiculing Time Magazine’s choice;
Is this really all they’ve got? Is the Democrat impeachment case so pathetic that they think citing President Trump insulting Greta will help boost support for their efforts?
Or maybe in their minds Democrats have put climate brat Greta Thunberg on such a pedestal, they think the American people will understand action against a President who insults her mission?
In the words of President Trump, “so ridiculous”.

I think the gang at NOX has hit the nail on the head with a Friday Funny.
Trump is gone, cold, stone GONE.
He returned a VHS tape to a video rental store in 1991 – and did not rewind the tape.
If that is not an impeachable offence, what is?
Stop exhaling CO2!!
From the article: “Is this really all they’ve got? Is the Democrat impeachment case so pathetic that they think citing President Trump insulting Greta will help boost support for their efforts?”
Yes, this *is* all they have. The House Democrats are abusing their political power. The Founding Fathers warned against political impeachments where one party impeaches the president of the opposition party, and that’s exactly the situation we find ourselves in today, thanks to the deranged Democrats.
This is a political assasination attempt on the part of the Democrats that is failing miserably, but in the process is harming the United States significantly. It’s a travesty of justice. It’s a Kangaroo Court. And it’s obvious to eveyone but the delusional radical Democrats.
The People will have the final say in this situation and I don’t think the People are going to be kind to the Democrats. The Democrats think they represent the majority of Americans, They are going to find out differently in November of 2020.
And as far as insults go, Trump’s comments about Greta were more in the vein of giving her some good advice than insulting her. Greta *would* benefit by “chilling”. And it *was* ridiculous for Time to put Greta on their cover. How about the Hong Kong democracy protestors? They don’t rate a mention? It’s all political which makes it all ridiculous.
After saying before the election that Trump was authoritarian, a dictator, a fascist (with many people saying he was literally as dangerous as Adolf H.), the anti Trump twitter brigade obsesses over… his taxes? Because nothing says “concern about authoritarian tendencies” better than willing to determine if a man abused the tax deduction mentioned in form XA4B3 that he couldn’t use because the sum was in line 43B9 and not 42B8.
While she was in the US DJT should have filed a complaint with a state level Child Protective Services office and had her taken into protective custody. Political leftists are the ones destroying her life and she needs protection before they push her into suicide for their sick, anti-human religion.
Democrats clearly think casting everything as offensive and outrageous will boost support for all of their notions and efforts.
But perhaps we are witnessing Peak Outrage?
I doubt it.
More likely it will worsen by magnitudes for years to come.
It’s like they are using horizontal pondering and thought fracturing to pump up an endless supply.
“gretafied”: a state of inmate smugness and self satisfaction that comes from joining a cult and suspending all rational thought. Not to be confused with “beatified” which refers to being the leader of a cult.
Speaking of “peak outrage”, that clown who thought Guam was going to capsize just basically waanted to impeach POTUS for being too tall … you can’t make this stuff up.

Any political candidate who would use the word, “attack”, to make a case about wrongdoing, is a flat-out hypocrite. Why do I say this? ANSWER: Three words — negative campaign ads. Talk about attack!
As if this sort of “attacking” isn’t standard operating procedure, long accepted, long tolerated by many many people. Come on, this is so pathetic! — to use an instance of somebody’s doing what is always done, as if nobody ever does it.
… same with the supposed criminal phone conversation at the heart of the impeachment crap.
I think we should institute a new procedure called “retro-impeachment” and carry it out on the former president. Maybe a new procedure called “faux impeachment” for people like Hillary, which probably would qualify as “retro-faux-impeachment”. Well, I keep thinking of other variations, for which I have not figured out a good name.
For instance, what do we call impeaching a person trying to run for president who exhibits all the signs of being stupid? Help me out here.
“…what do we call impeaching a person trying to run for president who exhibits all the signs of being stupid?”
Uhhmmmm…. that would be impeaching Bernie Sanders. I don’t think “A” the Occasionally-Conscious will be willing to wait until she’s 35, either, so you could put her in that category, too.
Clausewitz said that “War is the continuation of Politics by other means”
In modern warfare it is a War Crime to use women and children as “human shields”
Therefore I hold that the Climate Extremists are committing such a crime against Thunberg by using her as a human shield to suppress thoughtful and lawful opposition to their political objectives. She is a minor at 16 years old and has diminished legal capacity, and well as emotional and intellectual capacity to truly consent to what she is being “groomed” for.
in agreeing to hear 3 cases yesterday the supreme court confirmed the second article of impeachment is pure BS, they SC ruled indeed a president CAN deny access to private communications to congress.
As has been said, the liberal media regularly puts forth “challenged” people that they figure can’t be criticized. Trump properly “trumped” them on it. No one is above criticism, especially when their preaching is purposely put on prime-time display in the fake-media.
It is sad, or perhaps funny, to see the Democrat Party implode. It is almost an embarrassment that from 300+ million people, the best they can do is come up with a few brain dead Socialist/Marxist’s. And Bloomberg will just set them all off, and they will be fighting like cats and dogs. It is going to be entertaining to watch the Democrats further descend into political irrelevancy. This is Trump’s election to lose. I hope he throws his professional switch on soon, and changes the channel on them talking about high crimes and misdemeanours. He needs to start talking about making some great deals that we need to make to make the world a better, safer and more prosperous place. The better off everyone is, and the busier everyone else is making money, the less time anyone wants to think about fighting. But the world has to play by the same rules, and we need someone to enforce this which Trump is doing.
There is so many other problems to solve, of which climate change is the least of all the problems. Building infrastructure to aid and protect civilization from inclement weather is always the prudent thing to do. Why are the Democrats blocking this administration from major infrastructure improvements? Some of which will ensure we withstand the worst the weather will throw at us, which these alarmist Democrats now try and claim is man made climate change but is just normal every day inclement weather we have always had. And destroy our economy and democratic order in ushering in this corrupt form of global Marxism, by blaming all this climate change on the the miracle molecule of life, CO2.
This is all like water off a duck anyway with Trump, so he should avoid falling into their trap responding to the bizarre impeachment filed by some anonymous 3rd hand account that a lot of people are now seeing just as sour grapes by disgruntled losers. Time to put your best foot forward President Trump, change the channel and throw the switch and become the professional you that are capable of being, and show the world why we need you at the helm for another 4 years. Let’s make some deals!
Unbelievable, look at these words from the mouth of St Greta “… Greta Thunberg tells cheering crowd ‘we will make sure we put world leaders against the wall’ if they do not tackle global warming as she attends climate protest in Turin, …”. … https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7789463/Greta-Thunberg-arrives-Turin-Italy-star-turn-huge-climate-change-demonstration.html
As a reminder what happens when ignorant, idealistic and dangerously motivated children/youths are let loose.

Greta is an actress:

Her grandfather is also an actor:

Wait–there’s more:

OK. Check this out:

Leo DiCaprio played Arnie Grape in “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?” in 1993. When I first saw that movie, I thought they had found an actor who really was marginally handicapped, because his portrayal was so convincing. But no, he was just an outstanding young actor!
So there is precedent.
Let’s see how it’s done (roping someone into the life of an actor):

Another one comes to mind:

I’m not convinced Greta is on the spectrum. But her facial features do match those of a person with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.
Greta Thunberg has been created as a Grammaton Cleric (see movie Equilibrium for meaning) who was contracted to assassinate anyone’s character that is out of sorts with the Club of Rome set. She is a child shield that weak and cowardly people use to hide behind. She is the spiked dog collar that the Marxist progenitors of nihilism wear to ward off objective pushback against their lockstep groupthink. She is the spokestroll of dystopia. This marks the desperate attempt that they will try to coerce the world’s billions into downsizing their dreams and hopes and aspirations into a matchbox of pure minimalist depression. How crudely sad they all must be.
A classic red herring strawman distraction while flinging ad hominems. Total logical fallacies.
Trumps is being hounded for fighting back against the all powerful climate change is man made lobby. Renewable energy is not just a financial scam it is a political one to replace even the poor standard of democracy with a pure and unadulterated kleptocracy.
The way I follow the Trump impeachment story is via the betting markets. Whilst the odds of him completing his term (now mainly reflecting the possibility of sudden ill health or assassination), being nominated for the Republican ticket, and being the winner next year continue to drift marginally in his favour I know there is no real chance of impeachment. Only a sharp change in the betting would have me reading up the details, thus saving a lot of grief and wasted effort.
Dumbest post ever on WUWT.
1) Irrelevant to climate, science, earth, sense, reason, sobriety, sanity… what else?
2) Greta is a shrill, unattractive, misguided euro-nanny twerp. But stirring her into the disgrace of our disgraceful President being allowed to continue disgracing his office isn’t even funny enough to be a humor post.
Anyone with morals, a brain, and the ability to intake factual information and process it objectively knows exactly why DJT is being impeached. And anyone who can add patriotism into the preceding list should be ashamed at the craven cowards who will soon officially allow him to continue debasing the ideals this country was founded on.
I usually like Worrall’s (on-topic) posts. Have I not been paying close enough attention?
TIP: If you get your news and information from a single source and/or never listen to the “other side” of any topic, you are not informed or qualified to seriously debate any topic. You are an ideologue (or sheep, your choice).
Happy Festivus!
And here is a tip for you, don’t like something don’t read it and toddle along with your self-hate and misery. The Donald will not be impeached because Nannee Pelosi will never send the articles to the Senate because they will, correctly, throw them in the toilet. The Donald will be reelected in a landslide like nothing ever seen in American history and you will cry&wail till he leaves office, triumphantly, at the end of that term. The Federal Government is getting the enema it has needed for decades, the Federal Judiciary is already being rebuilt to America standards and there is nothing you leftists can do about it.
Merry Christmas! #4more
I’d rather read something and gain knowledge than ignore everything that doesn’t echo my exact current worldview. I have self confidence. I don’t need to live in a pack of yes men. I’d rather go find somebody who doesn’t agree with a thing I say, but can talk about it like an adult and maybe convince me of something. I’m not right about everything. I’ve been wrong many times. See? The world doesn’t end. And this: I don’t think you are evil because you went bananas in a comment thread. Still spinning…
Sorry you’re so angry about whatever you are angry about. As an American who cares about the country in the same way our Founders did, I can’t back someone who invites the exact betrayal that Madison and Hamilton and co. were most concerned about. As citizens, our power is expressed in one way only. There was nothing more important to the Founders than free and fair elections. Nothing.
If you don’t care that POTUS tried to cheat in an election, that’s your right. And when the next Democrat President also attempts to rob you of your only chance to be heard, guess what? I am a patriot and sane person. So I will demand that Democrat be removed from office too.
I don’t know you and I don’t care about you. I do care about your right to vote for whoever you want and have that vote count.
Really? Multiple investigations clearly show Donald Trump did not do anything to effect the outcome of the election beyond simply winning it. No collusion, no crimes, no ballot stuffing, not a f**king thing other than being the superior candidate. So keep telling yourself lies, keep being bitter and filled with self-hate and loathing. As for the Founding Fathers, they knew that lying scumbags like the Democrat Party would try to subvert America and you are failing due to the structures they put in place. In closing, the climate changes, constantly, humans are not causing it and can not stop it and Donald Trump will be reelected in a tsunami of American citizens rejecting your sick leftist ideology. And there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop us.
Merry Christmas
Make a list of everything that would need to happen in order for you to be completely happy.
I hope all of them occur.
Argue with that.
Peace.
Ahh, you gonna cry now? Stamp your effeminate little feet. Go scream at the sky, thats all you can do.
MAGA #4more
Well, I probably won’t cry RIGHT now. But we’re gonna watch “Bad Santa” in a little while; and when Thurman gives Billy Bob the wooden pickle after he walks in on Billy and Mrs. Santa about to smash, I usually can’t hold back at least a couple sniffles.
Hmmm. Not sure where feet came from? Very common fetish? Also, I think you meant “stomp” not “stamp,” unless you’re thinking of one of those stamps they use on your wrist when you go into a club, but stamped on my feet instead? Effeminate? Man, that would be a lot easier. My job requires me to wear boots for 24 hrs at a time. If you don’t do some maintenance: C-a-l-l-o-u-s-e-s. Who likes that s**t? Maybe if mine were smaller and more womanly, I wouldn’t have to get pedicures as often to keep from cutting up the sheets at night, know what I’m saying?
Okay. Screaming at the sky sounds pretty cool. What time of day do you recommend? I kinda feel like people would be less likely to call the cops where I live if I did it between sunrise and maybe 1100 hours. Afternoon, nighttime… people can get really cranky. I KNOW you understand that. Right?
All I can do? Which one? Cry? Stamp? Scream? I don’t think you really thought that one all the way through. I mean, clearly I can also type, read (a form of) English, find humor in the odd writings of an anonymous person, entertain myself trying to imagine what’s on the other end of this exchange, and bang out a reply while pretending to listen to Aunt B— yack about something. AND I can do it all under 5 minutes.
What else ya’ got for me, 2hotel?
If it’s just that you want the last word, that’s totally cool, too. Just say it. Otherwise, we can keep this going. I never get tired of hushpuppying. You know what hushpuppies are? Doesn’t matter. I can’t swear I’ll always be quick on the reply, depending on my schedule. But I’ll do my best.
PS–It’s xmas. I’m a giver. Let me help you out: So, if you sign your post with “MAGA,” which means “Make America Great Again,” that implies you don’t think–with DJT in charge–America is currently great. That’s probably not the message you’re trying to put out there. You’re welcome.
Ahh, poor little Trump hater has diarrhea of the keyboard. You are losing, America is winning. No matter what lies you vomit onto the intrawebs thingy you can’t change that.
MAGA #4more
“If you don’t care that POTUS tried to cheat in an election, that’s your right.”
And therein lies your delusion. Like the audience at a conjuror’s show, you are looking in the wrong direction. You have built your position on a lie, a complete lack of substance and subsequently it is also incorrect.
Since it was Christmas and I decided to do a bit of reading, I read the following 5 books, to add to my already extensive reading on the subject.
Ball of Collusion: The Plot to Rig an Election and Destroy a Presidency – Andrew McCarthy
The plot against the President – Lee Smith
Unfreedom of the Press – Mark Levin
How Trump Won: The Inside Story of a Revolution – Joel Pollack & Larry Schweickart
Loserthink – Scott Adams
No-one, having read these very well researched works can reach any other conclusions than that (1) the US Main Stream Media are the unabashed, proud and dangerous propaganda arm of the DNC and all things “progressive”, (2) that the the US Intelligence Community (FBI, CIA, FISC etc.) have some very serious ethical problems in the leadership (and the list of the fired, otherwise departed and “the likely soon to be indicted” is long and growing), (3) Russia’s “meddling” was insignificant, inconsequential and independent of the Trump campaign, and (4) the only thing Donald J Trump is guilty of is being Donald J Trump – warts and all.
The US Media, regurgitated by the European media as well, has lied to the American public on a grand scale and done so at the direct behest of the DNC and the misguided and criminal elements of the intelligence community who together have maintained a continuous supply of “leaks” and disinformation to feed their false narrative.
The entire 2 years of “Russia Collusion” was an elaborate lie without any basis in fact.
I trust all of you had a Merry Christmas
“Be good, do kind, do all you can that’s right and we’ll all be back in 2020”
Oh, and for someone claiming to be so upset about something you deem inappropriate on a webpage you can’t help adding to it. What a hypocrite you are, typical leftard.
