I hadn't drawn the connection. Yikes. I would actually assume that it was not intended to be anti-semitic, just alliterative. But then bigots who come up with these nicknames often have an unerring ability to tell who is what...bigot-radar. It's like some older generations who knew which actresses were black but passing as white somehow. It is very important to racists to know who everyone is so they can better understand how to be maximally racist.

But for now I'll just hope Trump's "Shifty Schiff" thing was just alliterative. But Trump is known to have a soft spot for "good people" among the neo-nazi crowd. Maybe that explains why David Duke supports Trump.

At one point I would have probably given Trump the benefit of the doubt but surely by now someone has to have explained that connection to him though, I'd agree that Trump most likely isn't clever enough to think that deeply and is just childishly playing with his name as he does to so many others, and I'd like to assume most of his fans don't make that connection either save for a few deplorable ones here or there but, the connection is there and it is racist. My hope in pointing it out here is that at least the mods and others might realize the dog whistle name that it is and hopefully do something to curb its use.

The thing about trials is that they are not entirely predictable. Sometimes the outcome is surprising.

That's not a free reign to turn a court ruled by law into a circus.

Personally I would love to have them call Adam 'Shifty' Schiff to the stand.....and then bring in the whistle blower to testify.....ooooo....wouldn't that be great theater.

Why would Congressman Schiff be called to the stand?

Trump is on trial, not Schiff or the whistleblower.

ehhh, they may very well have important info and the only way to find out is put them on the stand under oath....got a problem with that?

which has since yielded a TON of evidence completely verifying the initial call then I fail to see what good it would do.

Well why don't you post a few pounds of the 'evidence' that you are talking about right here? No one else has taken me up on the challenge; care to give it a try?

What information could they have?

Well, if we knew that then they wouldn't need to be put on the stand now, would they? :sigh:

Here, let me help. TheBlaze

For full disclosure, it's Glenn Beck's news and TV network.

Why don't we call the person walking by on the street then. After all, we don't know what information they have until we ask them.

Oh you must have missed the transcript of the call DJT released. Not to mention the finding that the GAO came out with last week that withholding of the funds to Ukraine was likely illegal which really fits in nicely with the shakedown DJT was attempting. And this doesn't even count all the witnesses that have been deposed and questioned.

That's why I recommend C-SPAN...you can actually see what they say, and not what Breitbart editors think.

Of course not... we want witnesses. However, they don't have to incriminate themselves, so this shouldn't become a political circus.

LOL! Isn't if funny how NO CONSERVATIVE EVER FESSES UP to watching Fox? You'd think Fox viewership was like 3 people if you go by Conservatives on the internet.

And if you don't know what the "Blaze" is, I am sad to say I clearly know MUCH MORE about Right wing media than you do! LOL!

Again, it's so painful to argue with Conservatives...they never seem to actually know much about either side.

Note that no Conservative can give you a REASON why the Whistleblower or Hunter Biden need to be called since there's nothing germane to the actual charges that is required from them. no, the goal there is to have YET ANOTHER person to demonize over what Trump did.

I am actually A-OK with people holding Hunter Biden's feet to the fire for his massive privilege, but since it has nothing to do with what Trump did on the phone call that can be explained by Hunter himself it's for another time and place to put him on a stand.

I watched CSPAN once, pretty boring and not very informative. They didn’t mention Soros or the Deep State once, how can they claim to even be “news” is beyond me.

Who determines if the trial is a "circus run by Adam Schiff"?

[...and silly me, I thought the Senate was run by Mitch McConnell]

Right. All kinds of people may have evidence. Put them on the stand. Make them testify so we can find out. Stop people on the street and make them come in and testify. You never know what you might find out.
