Schiff: If Trump Isn’t Removed He ‘Could Offer Alaska to the Russians in Exchange for Support in the Next Election’

Quote
SCHIFF: "... Trump could offer Alaska to the Russians in exchange for support in the next election or decide to move to Mar-a-Lago permanently and let Jared Kushner run the country, delegating to him the decision whether to go to war. Because those things are not necessarily criminal, this argument would allow that he could not be impeached for such abuses of power. Of course, this would be absurd. ...

I think - though I could be wrong - Schifftyroo was putting out some hyperbole. But even then Schifftyroo cannot let go of his ludicrous obsession with the Trump-Russia Collusion Delusion. The next 9 months are going to be interesting, with the possibility of a 4-year extension.

Hmm pretty bizarre.  But remember when Trump wanted to buy Iceland.
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

    • I try my best ...


If anyone was going to give away Alaska to the Russians, my God it certainly would have been Obama.
He would have given Putin Alaska and a BJ to go with it.
According to Obama, we already have 57 States plus two more. Who cares if we give one away?
Or maybe Hillary would want to RESET BUTTON with Russia by giving them Alaska. Why not?
They vote Republican too much anyway.


This is pure Democrat 'projection', as they always do.
Whatever they accuse Trump of doing is something they are already doing, or want to do.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
There are far more communist-leaning places in the US than Alaska he could trade, to his advantage, and the liberation of tax burdens borne by all Americans. We have barely begun to tap the resources in Alaska.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

So did Truman... and it was Greenland, not Iceland.

Besides, I'd rather we be buying resources than buying votes with a new entitlement program.

Impeachment and/or criminal prosecution isn't the place for hyperbole.  It confirms the thinness of the case because you have to invent an action rather than simply focusing on what actually happened.

Irrelevant. And Trump would have gone through the proper process as was done with the Gadsden Purchase or the purchase of Alaska. Not the least akin to Schifftyroo's lunatic Russia-obsessed claim.

One need only learn a little about the WW2 Battle of the Atlantic to understand the strategic value of Greenland and Iceland. But Orange Man BAD, and with Orange Man there is no historical precedent.

Seems like it was just a few years ago that the Dims and the Soviets were tighter than ticks. ESPECIALLY Bubba,Bubbette!,and Yeltsin. Then Bubba and Bubbette! started screwing the Russians out of World Bank money by forcing Yelstin to use World Bank money to buy rotten mean from Tyson,and the bromance ended.  Yeltsin refused to pay for a shipload of rotten meat,and Bubba threatened to freeze World Bank funds if he did.

Every time I see Adam Schiff on TV, I feel the need to replicate Sam Kinison's primal scream.
