Adam Schiff: 50,000 Americans Dead Because Trump Wasn’t Removed
2020-04-27
[BREITBART] Schiff told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes:

There is one thing that, really, I have to say haunts me from the trial and it was before that snippet you showed where we knew we had to answer the question to the senators, okay, essentially, house managers, you’ve proved him guilty [sic] , does he really need to be removed after all? we have an election in nine months. how much damage could he really do? and we posed that question to the Senate and we answered it by saying that he could do an awful lot of damage but frankly, chris, I don’t think we had any idea how much damage he would go on to do in the months ahead. There are 50,000 Americans now who are dead, in significant part because of his incompetence, because of his inability to think beyond himself and put the country first. I don’t think we would have ever anticipated that his brand of narcissism and his brand of incompetence would be so fatal to the American people.

#13  From Wikipedia:

A glittering generality (also called glowing generality) is an emotionally appealing phrase so closely associated with highly valued concepts and beliefs that it carries conviction without supporting information or reason. Such highly valued concepts attract general approval and acclaim. Their appeal is to emotions such as love of country and home, and desire for peace, freedom, glory, and honor. They ask for approval without examination of the reason. They are typically used by politicians and propagandists.

#11  I think this crap (defined as Dem congresscritters who believe their sole responsibility is to harass Republicans) started with David Bonoir (D- MI), who hit Newt Gingrich with some ungodly number of lawsuits and ethics violation charges back in the 1990's. I believe that number was over 400 of them by the time he left Congress. Now it is commonplace to behave like a POS - Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi, Waters, et. al.

#10  What Silentbrick said, times ten. He definitely makes Ted Kennedy look like Winston Fuckin' Churchill by comparison.

#9  I'm not sure I've ever come across anyone that better fits the description of a soulless, subhuman piece of feces than Schiff. Hell not even Ted Kennedy was this level of twilight zone crazy.
