Democratic 'Norms'

Obama, without Congressional approval:
-- Diverted $250MM to Palestine
-- Gave away hundreds of millions of dollars to Iran
-- Gave away $250MM to U.N. Green Fund

Also, caused hundreds of Ukrainian deaths by refusing to provide them lethal defensive weapons.
Now Democrats want to impeach Trump for violating 'norms' because he:
-- Vetted Ukraine for corruption before releasing Congressionally approved aid
-- Asked Europe to pay its fair share
-- Asked Ukraine for help with anticorruption
-- Saved Ukrainian lives by giving them weapons
Democratic 'Norms' -- Part II

Obama and Hillary left ambassador Stevens to die in Benghazi, but we’re supposed to be outraged over Trump recalling an Obama appointed ambassador from Ukraine. Also, Obama fired all Bush appointed ambassadors.

1. Today's Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch Show

WSJ Headline: Obama Appointee Denied Long Tenure as Trump Ambassador

Once again today, public was vividly reminded why voters should be the ones to decide when the Trump presidency ends.
2. "Nobody enjoys getting fired. And getting fired by Trump can be particularly unpleasant. But as involuntary separations go, an Obama ambassador being reassigned to another job within the State Dept while picking up a Georgetown fellowship is not the hardest of landings."
3. "Also, for anyone persuaded by former Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch’s congressional testimony today that she was the key to a free and independent Ukraine free of corruption, it’s worth noting two relevant issues."

It is interesting that "Congressionally approved" U.S. aid to Ukraine is now only referred to by Democrats as "Congressionally mandated" U.S. aid to Ukraine. Is there any other country U.S. Congress 'mandates' aid to that overrides Presidential power to conduct foreign policy?
Democrats are resorting to blatant abuse of the language to defraud the public. Congress approves aid for specific countries. Congress cannot, however, mandate that the aid be released right away. President has absolute legal discretion over whether and when to release the aid.
That is not to say the President can abuse his discretion with impunity, but that is different from calling the U.S. aid to Ukraine as "Congressionally mandated." Did they do another focus-group to find out that if they said "mandated," people will think Trump violated a mandate?

1. Warren's Wealth Tax Brainfart

If wealth tax is such a hot idea, how come it failed in almost every European country that tried it, including Sweden. They had to scrap it to save their economies. But you go right ahead and spew your nonsense on the unsuspecting.
2. First of all, federal wealth tax is unconstitutional in the U.S. I wrote this thread the day Elizabeth Warren came out with her nonsensical wealth tax proposal.
3. But let us assume Elizabeth Warren is forced to admit the unconstitutionality of her scheme and then decides to push for a constitutional amendment. That would at least be honest, but it would still be a terrible idea, because it is a royal stinker regardless.

Over the past year, the IRGC-QF has moved oil worth hundreds of millions of dollars or more through this network for the benefit of the Assad regime, Hizballah & other illicit actors. Senior IRGC-QF official & former Oil Minister Rostam Qasemi oversees this sprawling network.
@almostjingo @drawandstrike @SecStudiesGrp @CarrollQuigley1 @GeorgWebb @eyad1949 @EmadAlmudaifer @rising_serpent @cvpayne @HNIJohnMiller 3)
“Iran continues to take provocative actions to destabilize the region/world. Treasury’s action against this oil network makes it clear that those purchasing Iranian oil are directly supporting Iran’s militant/terrorist arm, the IRGC-Qods Force,” said Treasury Sec. Mnuchin.
