Lies, Cockroaches, and Adam Schiff

 

“Lies are like cockroaches: For every one you discover, there are many more that are hidden.” – Gary Hopkins

Wednesday night, Adam Schiff claimed that Donald Trump was responsible for the deaths of thousands of Ukrainians by withholding military aid to pursue Hunter Biden, and to interfere with Joe Biden’s run for the presidency of the United States. This is a lie, a very big lie, from someone who has told many lies in the Democrats’ psychotic obsession with removing President Trump from office.

Left unsaid is that President Obama’s aid to Ukraine was blankets and MRE’s (Meals Ready to Eat), items that aren’t very effective weapons against Russian tanks. Also left unsaid is that Obama’s administration at the same time as denying lethal aid to Ukraine was providing lethal aid to Mexican drug cartels.

This is reason enough to end this impeachment charade.

Ukraine now has the Javelin anti-tank missile, a weapon that Obama refused to provide, and the drug cartels have their weapons that the Obama administration provided.

    How would one go about accurately measuring the number of Ukrainians dead due to Trump’s withholding of aid (which wasn’t withheld past the deadline in any case, or so I have been led to believe)? 

    Assuming the number isn’t zero. 

    I want a list of names, dates, causes of death, etc.

    Re: lethal aid,  I hope that MREs are better than the old K-rations (or K-rats as we called them).   They leaned a bit more to the lethal side as far as taste.  I guess at least you could throw the can and do a bit of damage.

    So have you watched the Impeachment Hearings or are you relying on commentary about the hearing?

    Schiff’s statement is a flat out lie and you darn well know it.

    It was amazing. Utter bilge. Arrant nonsense. Undiluted codswallop.

    Bilge and Codswallop, makes me love the english language. And while Schiff thinks he is a knight errant, arrant nonsense is the true measure of the man.

    I have to object.  You can’t insult cockroaches like that.  They are not that low.

    Once again Adam Schiff confuses Trump facts with Obama facts.

    Maximun Trump froze the aid from July 25 to Sept 11. Thats 48 days. Total.

    To claim “thousands died” is such a wild exaggeration it’s criminal.

    Meanwhile Obama and his buddies stopped any real military aid from getting to Ukraine for years.

    The thousands of dead Ukrainians are properly at Obama’s feet.

    Exactly. Thousands died in the Ukraine when Obama refused to send them lethal aid. Trump fixed that. Schiff has got it backwards on who caused the deaths. Another lie.

    You realize if the title of your post was “Adam Schiff”, the other two nouns would be automatically included . . .

    Republican Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso said Saturday that House impeachment manager Adam Schiff turned pale when President Donald Trump’s defense team played video of his Ukraine call “parody.”

    Barrasso joined several of his Senate colleagues in speaking to reporters after Trump’s defense team wrapped up their opening arguments — which included a video of Schiff, in a House Intelligence Committee hearing, fabricating his own version of the July 25th phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Schiff had later dismissed the fabrication as “a parody.”

    … “From where I was sitting, I know the press couldn’t see his face, but the blood drained from Adam Schiff’s face as they played that video and his made up words.”

    Compare and contrast: This is the transcript of the phone call, this is what Schiff said about it.

    As a palate cleanser, this great video from Politizoid which just went out on Dan Scavino’s (he’s the Social Media Director at the White House) Twitter feed:
