The idea for this blog has been with me for about 3 years and the page itself has been ready for quite a while. Still, it needed an impulse for the kick-off as I was considering whether there is enough space for it (and also as there are other projects I am involved in – including the quite successful Critical Spectator).

Today, Nancy Pelosi gave me that impulse.

I intend to fling criticism in both directions here, as there are considerable problems both on the left and on the right up and down the Western world, but this sham spectacle of impeachment targeting the president of the still reigning superpower is a little too much to bear.

Democrats have desperately tried (for 3 long years) to find an impeachable offense against Trump – and, let’s be honest, the idea had been considered long before he was even elected, like you can see in this Politico article from April 2016.

To see the frequency and magnitude of these speculations all you have to go is head over to Google and see all the articles that mention impeachment and Trump that were published before December 2016 – within the first two months from his electoral win:

But all of that is, actually, still quite fine – speculation is not a crime and even putting on a show in the House is somewhat excusable, in the sense that Democrats have acted in line with the powers given to them by the people. It’s a circus but they have the right to put one up if they want to (and, possibly, pay the price next time ballots are to be cast).

Today, however, they went a step too far. In her thirst for power Nancy Pelosi has demonstrated the deep-seated disdain for the legal order of the country.

Now, I’m not a fan of Western democracies but if you want to change the political system you always have to bear the mandate granted to you by the society.

Not only are Democrats obstructing the legal procedures of an impeachment process (that they themselves began) by refusing to send the articles they passed in the House to the Senate – but they are making public proclamations deriding equally democratically elected senators of the United States of America.

Last I checked Nancy Pelosi was merely a speaker of the House, not some head of the entire Congress (which is precisely why the chambers are separated). And yet here she is saying she will not do what she is prescribed by the law in the revolting spectacle she and her cronies have started and added rather preposterous, self-righteous insults on top of it:

“[McConnell’s speech] reminded me that our founders, when they wrote the constitution, they suspected there could be a rogue president. I don’t think they suspected we could have a rogue president and a rogue leader in the Senate at the same time.” (Nancy Pelosi)

Isn’t this quite an overt dismissal of the Constitution? Nancy feels so powerful as to correct the Founding Fathers? Excuse me, but what exactly has her contribution been all those years? The Founding Fathers built the nation that she is now busy dismantling.

Democrats have grown so full of themselves – even though everything they have tried for three long years proved to be a disgusting sham – that their leader is now usurping power over how Senate should operate – not something she has been granted the right to do by any stretch of imagination.

However unfortunately, Democrats were well within their rights to conduct the ridiculous spectacle in the House but their majority there has no bearing on the Republican majority in the Senate.

And yet, today they believe they can obstruct the law only to pursue their deranged, delusional agenda, hopelessly trying to bring down a legally elected president.

The conduct of the entire Democratic party on this matter makes even Chinese leadership look rather benign. At least when Xi Jinping takes action it is in line with the prevailing laws of the country he’s leading and by results of all polls emerging from China (and the Communist Party does genuinely poll public sentiments) he and the party enjoy broad and quite real support.

In the meanwhile, in the US – the beacon of Western freedom – the party that dares to call itself “Democratic” has spent a few years trying to reverse the results of the vote the nation made in November 2016 and is now attempting to upend the constitutional order in pursuit of its blind, partisan goals, with complete disregard for the long-lasting consequences.

Now, I’m not a lawyer, but I do believe every civilized nation should have provisions in law for when a person in charge of one of the chambers of the parliament obstructs legal proceedings and issues threats or makes demands of other people exceeding the powers of their office. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect that they should be liable to stand trial, removed from office and barred from holding any public posts for their treasonous activity.

Let’s be quite clear, by what Nancy Pelosi said today we can only diagnose the ongoing show she is leading as an attempted coup d’état.

Democrats are not only pursuing removal of Donald Trump – whom they somehow see as the devil incarnate. They seek to monopolize political power in the country through obstruction of democratic procedures and disregard of the public votes cast during the elections.

They began with a desire to bring down an elected president and now are moving to rein in the Senate and dictate what it should or should not do.

It’s tyranny in the purest form that is quite shamelessly paraded by them in full view of TV cameras. Perhaps their near monopolistic grip over the mass media in the country has emboldened them so much that they no longer care to hide their true intentions?

After all, if those friendly outlets can suppress stories about a pedophile well-connected to Washington’s political elites, who had a questionable painting of Bill Clinton himself in his pedo-mansion, then surely they can spin Democratic efforts as en effort beneficial to the nation.

The reality, however, is that Democrats are so woefully incompetent that their only hope to defeat Trump is to drown him in a pool of excrement.

Who are the front-runners for the American presidency put forward by the Democratic party? A fake Indian, a nearly 80 year old millionaire Marxist after a heart attack and – lo and behold, their biggest hope – another octogenarian (well, almost), known for many gaffes, who already dropped out of a presidential race 30 years ago, after he was accused of plagiarism and lying about his academic accomplishments.

With a lineup like this it’s small wonder the only way they think any of them stands any chance is by smearing Trump to the very end.

Finally, Bloomberg – a longtime Republican, after all – got so alarmed that he decided to enter the race in the last minute, hoping to save whatever is left of the chances of the Democratic party to defeat Trump in a fair competition. But even his appearance can do little to shift attention away from the insanity of his colleagues.

Perhaps the question to ask is whether they are deliberately malicious or whether they are so blind in their self-righteousness that they don’t see what they are doing.

After all, their equally Marxist predecessors once carried big red banners demanding “revolution”, equality, prosperity and welfare for all. They too were so convinced of their righteousness that they eliminated (or even exterminated) their opponents in countries around the planet, sentencing billions to a life of despair and poverty, and over 100 million to death.

It sure looks like Speaker Pelosi feels rather envious of Chairman Xi – or maybe even Chairman Mao. The irony is that their claim to power were far more legal than hers is.
