One Word Was Mysteriously Absent From The Democrats’ Convention issuesinsights.com/2020/08/22/one…

“Her comment prompted “#ImpeachedForLife” to trend on Twitter shortly afterward.

Yet when Pelosi spoke at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday, she never mentioned Trump’s impeachment.

She didn’t mention Ukraine, or Russia or any of the other reasons Democrats spent three years arguing were grounds for his removal from office.

Her main complaint about Trump was that “As speaker of the House I’ve seen firsthand Donald Trump’s disrespect for facts , for working families and for women in particular.”

No other House member who voted to impeach Trump, and no senator found him guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, mentioned his impeachment. Nor did Obama, or Bloomberg (who paid for ads in 27 states in January calling for Trump’s removal). Nor did the hosts. Nor did Joe Biden.

In fact, transcripts of the entire four days were reviewed, and the word impeach was never uttered once.

Democrats spent almost the entire past four years arguing that Trump was an illegitimate president because Russia interfered with the election.

They spent every waking minute trying to drive him out of office for supposedly enlisting Ukraine to help with his reelection.

And now their big complaint is that he’s been dissing the U.S. Postal Service?

So if impeachment was never that serious — which Democrats have admitted by omission — why should anyone take seriously the arguments they are making for Trump’s defeat in November?

That he’s trying to ‘sabotage’ or defund the post office? (And by “defund,” they mean that Trump, who just pumped $10 billion into USPS, won’t agree to pumping $25 billion of taxpayer money into the supposedly self-funded USPS.)

That he’s responsible for every COVID-19 death?

Take a look at death rates by state and you will immediately notice that they are magnitudes higher in states run by Dems than those run by Republicans. How is Trump to blame? Aren’t governors responsible for running their states?

That he’s to blame for the far left’s violence over the past four years?

Democrats have spent nearly an entire presidential term fomenting hatred of Trump and playing one group against the other. They spent the last six months aggressively politicizing the pandemic.

They’ve coddled and encouraged rioters. They stoked racial animosity.

Even before Trump was elected, Hillary Clinton was excusing the left’s incivility by saying that “you cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about.”

Now, having contributed significantly to the hatred and division, Democrats say the only way to restore calm is to put them in power. It’s political extortion.
