NSC staffer Alexander Vindman isn't just a Ukrainian-American, he's a partisan Democrat who ridiculed America, according to two fellow soldiers
Hickman’s Oct. 31 tweets continue below in paragraph form for easier reading:
He was apologetic of American culture, laughed about Americans not being educated or worldly, & really talked up Obama & globalism to the point of (sic) uncomfortable.
He would speak w/the Russian Soldiers & laugh as if at the expense of the US personnel. It was so uncomfortable & unprofessional, one of the GS [civil service]employees came & told me everything above. I walked over & sat w/in earshot of Vindman, & sure enough, all was confirmed.
One comment truly struck me as odd, & it was w/respect to American’s falsely thinking they’re exceptional, when he said, “He [Obama] is working on that now.” And he said it w/a snide ‘I know a secret’ look on his face. I honestly don’t know what it meant, it just sounded like an odd thing to say.
Regardless, after hearing him bash America a few times in front of subordinates, Russians, & GS Employees, as well as, hearing an earful about globalization, Obama’s plan, etc., I’d had enough. I tapped him on the shoulder & asked him to step outside. At that point I verbally reprimanded him for his actions, & I’ll leave it at that, so as not to be unprofessional myself.
The bottom-line is LTC Vindman was a partisan Democrat at least as far back as [2013]. So much so, junior officers & soldiers felt uncomfortable around him. This is not your professional, field-grade officer, who has the character & integrity to do the right thing. Do not let the uniform fool you…he is a political activist in uniform. I pray our nation will drop this hate, vitriol & division, & unite as our founding fathers intended!
Thomas Lasch, Hickman’s boss at the time, corroborated his story on Twitter.

MSNBC April 2018: Nancy Pelosi insisted impeachment had to be bipartisan
Now she says she didn't say that.
Warren calls Biden a Republican on healthcare, Biden campaign responds: "Warren was a Republican until she was 47 years old"
“Democrats are not going to win by
repeating Republican talking points and by dusting off the points of
view of the giant insurance companies and the giant drug companies who
don't want to see any change in the law that will bite into their
profits,” [Warren] said. “If anyone wants to defend keeping
those high profits for insurance companies and those high profits for
drug companies and not making the top 1 percent pay a fair share in
taxes and not making corporations pay a fair share in taxes, then I
think they're running in the wrong presidential primary.”

Elizabeth Warren wants to cancel your health insurance culture AND your income tax culture and replace them with socialism
[T]his time, a wholesale government takeover of health insurance would actually be a step toward socialism, which is still viewed more negatively than positively by Americans overall. “You
don’t win with a message of socialism in a swing state like Florida,”
said Bill Nelson, a former Florida senator and Biden surrogate.

Makes you wonder what job Joe Biden is promising the whistleblower in his administration
These people are as crooked as the day is long.
Ridiculous US House under Pelosi opens impeachment inquiry yesterday, goes on vacation for two weeks
That's how important, serious and grave impeachment is to Democrats.
Whistleblower was sent packing from the White House in 2017 because he was believed to be the leaker plaguing the administration at the time
Once again it's all about personnel, which continues to bite Trump in the ass.
Fire the sons of bitches already!
NSC official Tim Morrison: Trump-Ukraine phone call transcript accurately and completely reflects the substance of the call
“I want to be clear, I was not concerned that anything illegal was discussed,” former NSC Senior Director for European Affairs Tim Morrison testified today, according to a record of his remarks obtained by The Federalist.

Paul Sperry identifies so-called whistleblower, links him to DNC Ukraine colluder Alexandra Chalupa, puts her at Obama's White House in November 2015, much earlier than previously admitted
And Ciaramella worked with a Democratic National Committee operative who dug up dirt on the Trump campaign during the 2016 election, inviting her into the White House for meetings, former White House colleagues said. The operative, Alexandra Chalupa, a Ukrainian-American who supported Hillary Clinton, led an effort to link the Republican campaign to the Russian government. “He knows her. He had her in the White House,” said one former co-worker, who requested anonymity to discuss the sensitive matter.
Documents confirm the DNC opposition researcher attended at least one White House meeting with Ciaramella in November 2015. She visited the White House with a number of Ukrainian officials lobbying the Obama administration for aid for Ukraine. ...
In his complaint, the whistleblower charged that the president used “the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 U.S. election.” Specifically, he cited a controversial July 25 phone call from the White House residence in which Trump asked Ukraine’s new president to help investigate the origins of the Russia “collusion” investigation the Obama administration initiated against his campaign, citing reports that “a lot of it started with Ukraine," where the former pro-Hillary Clinton regime in Kiev worked with Obama diplomats and Chalupa to try to “sabotage” Trump’s run for president.

Full time employment is still abnormally low in the eighth year of painfully slow recovery
On an average basis through October 2019, just 50.37% of civilian noninstitutional population works full time.
A simple return to the rate of 51.3% which still prevailed throughout 2008, before the black communist got elected and scared employers half to death, would mean almost 3 million more working full time at current population level than do.
It took Reagan only three years to dig out of similar depths to which we sank in 2009, 2010 and 2011, but here we are in the eighth year of recovery and can't crack 50.5%.
Pathetic.

The House impeachment inquiry, which is already being conducted in secret and restricts Republican involvement, was finally authorized but on entirely partisan grounds, by Democrats
232 YEAS (all Democrats plus Justin Amash, the libertarian nutjob from my district in Michigan), 196 NAYS (194 Republicans plus 2 Democrats), and 4 NOT VOTING (3 Republicans plus 1 Democrat: A personal family emergency, the death of a father, and the call of military duty kept the three Republicans away from the vote; the lone Democrat not voting is recovering from surgery).
YEAS included sexual predator Katie Hill of California, who formally resigns her seat in the US House as of today, and candidate for president Army Major Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii.

This Ann Coulter mistake usefully focuses attention on the fact that Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii could have been Democrat no. 3 to vote against impeachment proceedings, but wasn't
Let the enthusiasm for Tulsi on the right end there.
Tulsi may carry herself like a senator, but really there's no there there if she cannot see that the Democrat alternatives for president are more insane than Trump.
Maybe Tulsi could learn something over a leisurely dinner with Mattress Girl.
