Donald Trump Calls for Pompous Ass Mitt Romney to Be Impeached

President Donald Trump took aim at Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) once again on Saturday, this time calling for the NeverTrumper to be impeached.

“I’m hearing that the Great People of Utah are considering their vote for their Pompous Senator, Mitt Romney, to be a big mistake. I agree! He is a fool who is playing right into the hands of the Do Nothing Democrats! #IMPEACHMITTROMNEY,” the president wrote on Twitter.

In a subsequent tweet, President Trump argued retired Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), an outspoken anti-Trump critic, was “better” than the Utah Republican.

“No Kevin, Jeff Flake is better!” he tweeted in response to Fox News White House correspondent Kevin Corke, who asked, “Has #MittRomney become the new #JeffFlake or is the latest back and forth much ado about nothing?”

Despite President Trump’s wishes, senators are unimpeachable and Utah lacks state laws to recall a senator.

A Utah Political Trends survey conducted in July, found Romney has the highest disapproval rating among the Salt Lake State’s congressional lawmakers.

Earlier Saturday, President Trump mocked Romney as an “ass” after the failed Republican presidential candidate criticized Trump for bringing attention to the dealings of former vice president Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, in China and Ukraine.

President Trump wrote on Twitter.:

Mitt Romney never knew how to win. He is a pompous “ass” who has been fighting me from the beginning, except when he begged me for my endorsement for his Senate run (I gave it to him), and when he begged me to be Secretary of State (I didn’t give it to him). He is so bad for R’s!” President Trump wrote on Twitter.

The president said in a separate tweet:

Somebody please wake up Mitt Romney and tell him that my conversation with the Ukrainian President was a congenial and very appropriate one, and my statement on China pertained to corruption, not politics. If Mitt worked this hard on Obama, he could have won. Sadly, he choked!

On Friday, Romney labeled President Trump’s suggestion for foreign countries to probe the Biden family’s business activities “wrong and appalling.” Romney wrote on...

The FBI’s Newest Crime Report Has Bad News for Gun Control Advocates

The Trump presidency has been one of records – record low unemployment, record gains in the stock market, record economic optimism, record regulatory cuts, and now in crime reduction.

The FBI’s crime report for the year 2018 has been released, and it shows that America is becoming safer. It also found that in a year where gun control again became an issue brought to the forefront politically, gun violence declined overall, especially among the most politicized weapons.

According to the report, violent decline declined from 3.3% from 2017 to 369 offenses per 100,000 people, while property crimes fell 6.3% to 2,200 per 100,000. This marked the sixteenth consecutive year that both types of crime fell. An additional 39 agencies reported crime to the FBI from 2017, to 18,586 total. Of note, total losses from property crime totaled $16.4 billion, or only roughly $50 per American, which admittedly was far smaller than I expected.

Most relevant, firearm homicides fell 7% from 10,982 in 2017 to 10,265 in 2018.

When isolated by type of firearm, firearm violence fell the most in 2018 among the types of weapons that were demonized most in the media – rifles. Rifle homicides fell 26% from 403 to 297.

Rifles were a relatively unpopular method to commit homicide with, as they always have been historically. While they always are mentioned in the news when they’re used to kill multiple people at once, they compose a sliver of total murders. Knives and other cutting instruments killed over five times as many people, or 1,515. Blunt objects (such as clubs and hammers) killed 443, while fists killed 668.

What this latest FBI crime report proves is that America is continuously becoming a safer country without interruption. From 1993-2010 firearm homicides were cut in half, and they’ve only continued to fall since.

And that’s all happened without gun control advocates getting...

Mitt Romney Cozies Up to Pelosi on Impeachment

RUSH: Here’s Matthew. Matthew in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Great to have you on the program. Hi.

CALLER: It’s great to be here, Rush. I’ve been listening to you for four years and I finally hit the Rush Limbaugh Show jackpot and got through. If I could sum up the Democrats’ approach to impeachment, the phrase I would use is, “The surgery is successful, but the patient has died because no matter what they do or how they do it, even if it passes in the House, when it goes to the Senate, the majority Republican Senate is not gonna pass impeachment.”

And then my question is that if in 2020 Republicans sweep and get the House, the Senate, and presidency, what are the next four years gonna look like under Trump, who has no handcuffs. He doesn’t have to be diplomatic and work for reelection, he’s got the last four years, what do you think that looks like?

RUSH: Let me take the first observation you made, Matthew. You said that even if the Democrats vote articles of impeachment out of the House, meaning that there would be a trial in the Senate, then there’s no way Trump’s gonna be found guilty. The Republicans control the Senate. They’re not going to ever convict Trump.

I want to tell you, Matthew, that yesterday and today Senator Mitt Romney, Republican, Utah, had phone calls or meetings, whatever, with Pelosi and assured her there was Republican support to remove Trump. Romney is a Never Trumper, and, if he can, he will get rid of Trump. I don’t think that means that Romney has enough Republicans to actually convict. Romney is just staking a claim to a political position. Romney thinks it’s in his best political interests for everybody to think he hates Trump. That’s how he thinks he’s going to politically benefit, whatever his next ambitions are.

See, Romney’s one of these RINOs, a mainstream Republican who’s almost afraid to be a Republican and thinks he’s gotta apologize for Republicans and who they are and conservatives and who they are. He’s one of these guys that wants to go out and try to make sure that whenever the Democrats want to attack Republicans, they leave him alone ’cause he’s actually reasonable and all.

This is the guy — and I want everybody to remember this — this is the guy that Harry Reid said in 2012 that a friend told him Romney hadn’t paid his taxes in 10 years. The media said to Harry Reid, “Well, what who’s your friend? We need to ask somebody about this, where’s your proof?” And Harry Reid said, “You’re asking the wrong guy. You need to go ask Romney why he hasn’t paid his taxes in 10 years.”

So they did. And so it became an ongoing part of Romney’s presidential campaign that he is alleged to not have paid taxes in 10 years. Everybody knew it was bogus but they ran with it anyway. Romney’s cozying up to these people? Mitt Romney was also the target of dirty Democrat ads claiming that an employee of his wife died because Romney was so cold-hearted he didn’t extend health care to the guy’s wife. And so the guy’s wife died and Romney didn’t care. And Romney is cozying up to these guys?

And can we forget, they said Mitt Romney hates animals. Family vacation, put the dog on the top of the station wagon. Then when Romney was trying to prove that he was not involved in a War on...

Susan Rice: Our democracy is under assault from Trump’s White House (Video)

The Former Obama Administration Is Beginning To Feel The Heat, They Are Backed Into A Corner And They Are Fighting For Their Lives Now.

“For the first time that I can remember, our democracy is under assault. Our country is, in effect, under attack … and that attack is coming now from within. It’s coming from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. And for all of the security threats I saw as national security adviser, all the challenges we faced, I never thought I’d see that,” said Susan Rice, former national security adviser to President Obama on “CBS This Morning.”

“You’re thinking this man is not predictable, he’s not stable, he’s not playing with a full deck. And if they were being smart, and never discount the Chinese ability to be smart, they’d think maybe this is an opportunity to steal second base,” Susan Rice...
