The Impeached One, caught in a lie rationalizing the execution of Soleimani when his Defense Secretary wasn't aware of imminent attacks against 4 embassies, asserts it doesn't matter because of alleged past sins.

Well, The Impeached One's real idiocy in calling Cherokee Lizzie "Pocahantas" is the fact that Pocahantas was a member of the Powhatan tribal nation. Apparently the Dunce-in-Chief thinks "all Indians look alike".— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 13, 2020

There is a lot of Astros' bashing going on here. Stealing signs has been part of the game from the get-go. Be clear: even if you know an upcoming pitch, hitting it is not a given.

There are a lot of statistics on hitters and pitchers, what pitches give batters trouble or play to their strengths. I don't see signs as an integral part of the game. One can argue a pitcher shouldn't need a catcher to choose how he goes after a batter. https://t.co/UKvVlJE3vo— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 13, 2020

The Houston Astros won 101 games in 2017 and in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey won a tough 7-game World Series. This sign-stealing kerfuffle is bullshit. Let's point out that 2 of Houston's 4 wins, including the final game, were in Los Angeles where the Astros had no advantage— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 13, 2020

ObamaCare is another failed progressive intervention in the health care sector. Government bureaucrats are not the source for innovation and cost efficiency. https://t.co/rnHFauCsEj
Basically government doubles the cost of everything it touches. Remember the Internet only blossomed after it was privatized. One of the problems of ObamaCare is that it wanted to redistribute wealth from younger, healthier, but often lower-earning people via an insurance mandate— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 14, 2020
When free market advocates like me demand that government leave the health care sector, this doesn't mean we are against health care solutions for the needy. We are against the government barriers against market solutions. Poor people manage to eat without government farms.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 14, 2020
Government price controls are counterproductive; they are too rigid to mimic the private economy's response to price signals and efficient resource allocation. Price controls typically result in shortages or gluts, and government responds with "solutions" like rationing.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 14, 2020
Look, for instance, at FDR's handling of food. FDR wanted a floor under food prices to protect farmers from lower revenues affecting loan repayment.

According to accounts of the Houston Astros "cheating" in 2017 by intercepting catcher signs, supposedly the coaches were tipping off batters by banging on trash cans.

Hearing Cherokee Lizzie attack The Impeached One's economically illiterate trade wars was rich, more demagoguery and opportunistic than principled. The Democrats have generally abandoned free trade since the last century.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 15, 2020
I'm listening to the Trump speech at the signing of his phase 1 trade deal. The self-congratulatory delusional hype and hubris of The Impeached One is painful for any intelligent person to listen to. Politicians don't improve trade; all that is necessary is to let trade happen.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 15, 2020
The only effective trade deal is an implementation of unfettered trade. Trump is not a surrogate for over 320 M American consumers. Purchase quotas are absurd to the principle of free trade.

The new Washpo book, "A Very Stable Genius", shows how the reality of Trump is even more damning. Here is a POTUS who did not know India shares a border with China or the significance of the USS Arizona, who wanted to repeal a restriction against US companies paying bribes abroad— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 16, 2020
Trump's egotism is so off the charts the fact he actually considered awarding himself the Medal of Freedom doesn't make one blink. The hypocrisy of his Ukraine extortion as "anti-corruption": American companies not paying bribes "aren't competitive".https://t.co/fWveoBvlxn— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 16, 2020
The fact that Trump wasn't aware of the 1962 Sino-Indian War over disputed border territory will no doubt be excused by the fact Trump was only 16 and in high school at the time. So much for current events.https://t.co/bziJ7qx6h3— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 16, 2020
I have no idea why FBN has so much political coverage and basically panders Trumpkin talking points. Brooks (R-AL) repeated trite soundbites.

Wrong. Clinton was charged with perjury and obstruction of justice. These were related to the circumstances of a federal civil rights case involving a former Arkansas subordinate, Paula Jones. The relevance of Monica Lewinsky was in establishing a pattern of sexual harassment.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 18, 2020
Among the reasons that made Clinton's misconduct so egregious is he had tried to evade the Jones case while occupying the White House, and SCOTUS ordered him to cooperate. This had nothing to do with obstructing the GOP-held Congress' investigation.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 18, 2020
That being said, I do believe, as in the case of Clinton, Trump is guilty of the counts against him.
