U.S. House Democrats’ team of Impeachment Trial Managers, led by Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), concluded their opening arguments on Friday night. Now, President Trump’s legal team delivers its defense over the next several days.
1) There are too many such cases to enumerate here, but on August 11, 2014, a young white man named Dillon Taylor was shot in the back by a police officer after ignoring a warning to stop. He was wearing headphones at the time. The district attorney ruled the murder justified. Last year, a Salt Lake City judge dismissed a lawsuit by the victim’s family.
On January 20, Donald J. Trump completed his third year in office. I predicted in 2016, in a blog post that received considerable traction on social media, that Trump would lose his bid for America’s highest office. I was spectacularly wrong but not alone. Even the Las Vegas bookies thought Clinton was a shoo-in with her unbeatable two-punch knockout. The first punch: I’m not Trump, the second: World War III with the Russians would be peachy at least until the bombs start falling. What could possibly have gone wrong?
Once again, the mainstream media is pushing the repugnant race card, suggesting that Trump supporters are a bunch of knuckle-dragging xenophobes whose only reason for wanting a wall on the Mexican border is because they suffer an aversion to people with different skin color than them.
Hello Mr President,
You have claimed consistently and still do claim that America is the greatest country in the world. Patriotism is a noble thing, but it should not blind us to the inadequacies and shortcomings of our nation, whatever that nation is.
1) How would you like to live in a nation in which there is no rule of law, where innocent citizens can be murdered by the police with total impunity?
2) In which a police officer can kill an innocent man, shooting him in the back, and be rewarded for it?
While the current Liberal government claims to be progressive and in favour of a rules-based international order, promotion of democracy and world peace, its actions regarding Iran demonstrate that the primary drivers of Canadian foreign policy remain US geo-political interests and the interests of the rich and powerful.

A picture is worth a thousand words. That ought to be really good for all the readers who do not like reading my longer articles. However a video is worth a thousand pictures. That being said, let’s have a look at what the Democrats are doing this week, and do a sanity evaluation.
We have two tasty treats. The first one is straight from the Compleat Fake Impeachment Trial, which we probably ought to rename Romper Room on Acid. See for yourself:
