James Fetzerblog

By Joe Schaeffer [Editor’s note: Giuseppe Vafanculo and I did a color commentary of the debate LIVE, which you can find on my twitter page @JimFetzer. This is an excellent analysis of what happened during the debate.] Strong second-half performance overcomes moderator bias. Once things transitioned from temperamental bickering to substantive discussion, President Trump had an easy walk in the first 2020 presidential debate in Cleveland on Sept. 29. And all the blatant efforts to aid Democratic challenger Joe Biden made by his unofficial cornerman Chris Wallace failed to stem the incumbent’s…

Jim Fetzer                     “If we don’t impeach this guy, he will get reelected”–Rep. Al Green (D-TX)   For only the third time in American history, a President of the United States has been impeached by the House of Representatives, in this case, on the grounds of Abuse of Power and Obstruction of Congress. The first article purports to be based upon a phone call with the President of Ukraine, where he is alleged to have withheld foreign aid unless Ukraine were…
