    Projection and conformation bias. Words they live by along with double standards and hypocrisy.

    That's another conspiracy theory and fear mongering the Left have pushed since Trump was elected. He was suppose to get us into a nuclear war, mass deportations, arresting of journalists, a major depression, become a dictator, I'm sure I left a boat load out. The truth is, the fear mongering Leftists most likely can't name one thing Trump has done that negatively affects them.

    Come on you know what you should say. I can play your game. A Democrat is an single individual who belongs to the Democratic Party. A Republican is a single individual who belongs to the Republican Party.

    Two or more individuals who belong to the Democratic Party are to be referred to as two Democrats. Like wise two or more re
    The use of "Democrat" depends on context and use. You can use it to denote one Democrat such as saying 'Joe Biden is an old Democrat ' which is fine because you would be talking about one person. If you are referring to their party you need to use the name they have called themselves for almost 200 years. They are the " Democrat Party" a group of many individual individuals.

    I know why you use the term "Democrat Part" and that is because it is a pejorative an epithet.

    See links
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democrat_Party_(epithet)

    Using the term "Democrat Party " instead as they are officially known which is the "Democratic Party" is an insult. Neither you nor Trump not Gingrich nor any other 'insulter ' started it it was used on and off since 1952.

    Yet doing something stupid, wrong, or foolish is not a virtue even if it was done before by wrongdoers or old fools.

    https://www.businessinsider.com/democrat-party-republicans-trump-2017-12

    I have not been a Democrat for over a quarter of a century and do see most of the Democrats running in the Democratic Party primary as fools, too old to serve, not Democrats and not electable. Yet I will not sink into the swim in the swamp of stupidity and use juvenile terms such as " Democrat Party" when referring to the other name political party.

    Democracy is anonymous whistleblowers making accusations hidden from anyone's scrutiny with court being held in secret committee meetings? Really? No accountability, no transparency and no ability for the other side to subpoena and ask questions, that's Democracy to you? Mussolini would be proud.

    Well... Obviously, anything the Democrats do is democratic. I mean... it's in their name; right?

    Right?

    Secret meetings? When have there been meetings that didn't include both republicans and democrats? Since your initial point is based on a fallacy the rest falls apart as well.

    I will give the Trump admin some credit, these frequent confessions are handy. The Impeachment should be done by Thanksgiving and the trial over by Christmas.

    A GOP congressman says he was kicked out of other committees' deposition of Fiona Hill

    Please try to keep up. There will never be an impeachment vote till after Trump is re-elected.

    Bernie had no chance to win the primary. It had already been decided before the voting even began.

    The only people who saw the 2016 election and believe it wasnt rigged are you and Hillary herself.

    Your turn.

    So the committee meetings are behind closed doors when a Congressman from the Judiciary Committee isn't welcome to just sit in on the hearing? How very 3rd world nation. Sounds like the Star Chamber secret meetings to me. Please don't be surprised when the Republican Challengers to Democrat seats in swing states, use the lack of transparency during these Star Chamber proceedings to beat up on the Democrat House incumbents in political ads. You will lose the House in 2020.

    Nope. That person is from Australia, and very much wants us to have some of our rights removed.

    Australians have always been jealous of our freedoms. We did it right when they did it wrong way back then.

    Except that I never said "Democrat Party" in the post that you took offense at. I said "Democrat Presidential hopefuls". I wasn't talking about the whole Democratic Party. I was talking about individuals. And like I already told you, "If others consider it such that is not my problem as I don't consider it as such. I'm not responsible for what other people think." You see, I have my own thoughts. I'm not beholden to anyone but myself (and my kids). I'm not a Democrat. I'm not a Republican. I'm not Green Party. I am a true independent. I've never been a part of ANY party. Hell, I was never even a part of any school team while growing up. So, while it might be a pejorative for some Republicans...its not for me. So no. You obviously did not know why I used the term "Democrat". Especially considering that you thought I was talking about the Democratic Party. Which I wasn't. As proven.

    That "secret" committee has 18 republicans on it. Are they all part of your conspiracy? If so then Trump really needs to go and go quickly for the good of the nation.

    Not a general election?

    Democrat Presidential hopefuls is still wrong and whether you intend it as
    a pejorative or not most always it is used as a pejorative. It is just like the infamous "N" word in that how do you argue that it not a pejorative!

    Well we may as well agree that are are not going to agree so we go on to more important topics.

    I am surprised that you are a true indie.

    So What?

    The RULES of The House PERMITTED him being asked to leave:

    Gaetz is not on any of the three committees conducting the impeachment investigation — Intelligence, Foreign Affairs and Oversight.

    He said that when Schiff asked him to leave, they consulted with House parliamentarian, who agreed with Schiff.

    In other words--Your "narrative" is an EPIC FAIL. :roflol:
