'If you enjoy watching Trump haters fall flat on their faces, 2019 was a year of political bloopers even more side-splitting than the best cat videos on YouTube.'

Once again, the always astute Adam Mill:

So you don't miss anything, here is the full text:

"The year 2019 might go down in history as the funniest 365 days in American politics.
“Get-Trump” videos work as a pretty good stand-in for funny cat videos: Always taking themselves too seriously, overreacting to stimuli, and exhibiting a hilarious lack of self-awareness.
So, in order to spread some holiday cheer, I have compiled a shortlist of my favorite videos of get-Trumpers and their hilarious hijinks.

Let’s get right to the list:
𝟏𝟐) 𝐈𝐟 𝐰𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡, 𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

How do the get-Trumpers respond to the argument that the American people can decide for themselves in 2020 whether to get rid of Trump?
The ironically-named “Democrats” say, “Yes, and that’s the problem!”

No, really.

I’m not making this up.
U.S. Representative Al Green (D-Texas) was asked, “Are you afraid this talk will help the president’s re-election?”

Green responded, “I’m concerned that if we don’t impeach this president, he will get re-elected.”

𝟏𝟏) 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠?

Watch this video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) during a press conference when she pauses to take a sip of a clear liquid.

The liquid seems to burn as she involuntarily flinches and her mouth suddenly becomes dry.
Impeachment Schnapps, maybe?

𝟏𝟎) 𝐀𝐝𝐚𝐦 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐟 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬.

After polls failed to move in his direction, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) was forced to gavel to conclusion his hippity-hoppity kangaroo court and was barely able to contain his tears.
When you spend all of your time in an echo-chamber, it must be an emotional shock when you try to convince regular Americans with sham evidence.

𝟗) 𝐑𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐌𝐮𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐮𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭.

After two years of perpetual dramatic photographs showing a stone-faced Robert Mueller rushing off to court flanked by sober lawyers and G-men, he turned out to be . . .
. . . well, not all there.

.
thefederalist.com/2019/07/25/lon…
Mueller supposedly was in charge of the investigation into whether Donald Trump colluded with the Russians during the 2016 election.

These allegations originated with Fusion GPS, the company Clinton hired to smear her political opponent.
The term “Fusion GPS” appears not once in the Mueller report and, as Mueller said, he’s not even familiar with the firm.

𝟖) 𝐉𝐨𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬.

Watch Biden shout, “We choose truth over facts!”

.
I actually found this “gaffe” to be more fascinating than humorous.

“Truth” has quasi-religious implications.

On the post-Christian Left, faith in the political narrative seems to have replaced the God of our ancestors (and facts.)
𝟕) 𝐋𝐚𝐰𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐎’𝐃𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐥’𝐬 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞.

Somebody should force O’Donnell to huff helium before he goes on air because his deep, authoritative anchorman voice is totally mismatched with his completely unreliable reporting.
In August, he reportedly had a single source who would confirm that Donald Trump’s loans were co-signed by Russian oligarchs.

Watch Rachel Maddow express warranted skepticism.

.
He was forced to retract the very next day.

Read here about another source who tied O’Donnell to some very sketchy behavior of his own.

𝟔) 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐩 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐍𝐨. 𝟏: 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐱 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞.

Not since Marie Antoinette asked why her starving French subjects...

... would ask for bread when they could dine on cake instead has a rich oligarch said something so cringeworthy.
Watch as uber-billionaire Michael Bloomberg defends, yes 𝒅𝒆𝒇𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒔, regressive taxes (taxing the poor at a higher rate than rich people) in this video.

.
𝟓) 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐚𝐲.

After Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell destroyed impeachment with a short, half-hour speech of his life, ...

.
amgreatness.com/2019/12/20/mcc…
... Pelosi was reduced to . . . well, watch it for yourself.

Hey, where’s her drink?

.
c-span.org/video/?c484103…
𝟒) 𝐇𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬.

Rep. Eric Swalwell, (D-Calif.) got really worked up during an MSNBC interview in which he bloviated his anti-Trump talking points.

Watch here as he releases even more hot air for emphasis.

.
𝟑) 𝐉𝐨𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐠 𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐫.

Although this video is from 2017, it did not become viral until this year.

.
In the speech addressing an African American audience, two creeped-out African American children can be seen casting worried glances at Biden as he brags about children touching his legs in the pool to smooth his blonde leg hair.
For emphasis, he added that he “loves kids jumping on my lap.”
𝟐) 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐟 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥.

Leftists have organized to disrupt conservative speakers and Republican town halls for years.

That’s wrong and I condemn it even when it’s done to my own political opponents.
I nevertheless find some guilty pleasure in watching Schiff’s own constituents call him a “liar.”

It was funny, but please don’t do that.

He has a right to speak, too.

.
Still, if you can’t resist, please do post the video.

.
𝟏) 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐟’𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠.

In a world in which facts and emotions are the same thing, the House Intelligence Committee chairman probably didn’t worry about the fact ...
... that his only witness with an actual record of speaking to the president couldn’t back up Schiff’s key accusation—that Donald Trump threatened to withhold aid from Ukraine unless it investigated the Bidens.
You can watch as Ambassador Gordon Sondland melts under cross-examination as he admits that the entire case against Trump is mere presumption.

.
c-span.org/video/?c484194…
This emphasized one of the two major problems with the Ukraine case against Trump:

... 1) the Democrats can’t prove what they alleged,

... and 2) Even if they do prove it, there’s nothing wrong with what they’ve accused him of doing.
Other than that, they’ve put on a pretty good show.
It was an entertaining year for those who enjoy a good old-fashioned political blooper.

Democrats and NeverTrumpers offered us so many this year that I’m sure I’ve missed a few.
