I agree that there's an argument that can be made to the effect that Mitch was foolish to loudly announce his plans for quickly disposing of the Imp. Trial.

I was raised to practice careful deception and camouflage - NEVER tip your hand to the enemy, ALWAYS conceal your true motives and objectives.

I think a pussy is someone who allows Hunter & Joe Biden to slide on this.

I would call those two worthless fricks as witnesses and bury their family name in the process.

Republicans ALWAYS cave to Democrats. Pelosi doesn't want a trial , she is appeasing the AOC type loons in the house.

McConnell and Pelosi are dirty just like Joe Biden.

Nancy probably told turtle she would pop her dentures out and blow him if he dismisses the charges.

That’s not what I said. Look at it from a strategy standpoint if your goal is to ruin the Democrats. The Senate had a chance to show the country through a trial how malicious and wrong the Democrats are

Completely wrong; Pelosi holding the articles from the Senate proves that this was always political theater.

The Senate can act whenever McConnell is ready.

Dumbass....the Coke Dealer has effected a stalemate. Nancy and Chucky have blinked

However I suspect that the Dems have already dispatched a strategy for their media partners to follow starting in January

This isn’t over by a long shot.

The truth is on Trumps side and they are playing the long game.

Meanwhile Pelosi and the Dems are forced to run trick plays because they know they are cooked.

Really? So the Dems claim that impeachment is a must because Trump is dangerous to America. Yet, they are refusing to send the America saving articles of impeachment to the Senate? That is not a winning hand for Pelosi or the Dems.

Courts will intercede. Pelosi cannot hold the articles for a significant period.


I was unaware of this. That changes things if she is forced to move it along. I assumed she could hold them indefinitely and just hang it over the GOP and Trumps head.

I’m just remembering how effective the “GOP is obstructionist” narrative was under Obama with a compliant media and that’s the angle they’ll take here

This is exactly why I said the Senate GOP needed to hold a trial and call all the witnesses damaging to the Dems and embarrass them. Just dismissing the charges would give Dems the narrative they’re using now, and even worse Mitch’s dumbass tipped his hand allowing Pelosi to hold the articles.

The result: Trump doesn’t get vindicated in any way. Dems get to set the narrative and hold impeachment over Trump while the spineless GOP sits on their hands. frick the whole lot of them.

Only solution now is to hold the trial and destroy the Democrats during it


If Pukelosi thought this move was 3D chess she fricked up big time. Most Americans are suffering from OMB fatigue and want this BS to go away.....Pukelosi isn’t very good at reading the sentiments of average Americans and the 2020 GE will reflect that.

It is not. Anyway this goes won’t damage Trump because the impeachment articles are made up bullshite that does not constitute high crimes and misdemeanors.

But I would like a trial that lets Trump call any witness he likes and let Trump exact his revenge. You know he would destroy them.

Mitch’s strategy is denying that opportunity. Probably because it would expose a lot of Rhinos too

And right now Nancy Chompers is twisting in the wind, the ball is in the Dem's court and in a bad place to play from. Any way she goes will be a bad step, Mitch is letting her cook in her own stew.

Pelosi lost this battle. She might’ve had a chance at getting 4 Senators to go with her on the witnesses had she not pulled this stunt. Now those Senators will look foolish to voters if they “give in” to the lower house and allow the kangaroo court to proceed

Mitch McConnell has destroyed her. Her holding the articles undermines her argument not his. She is proving that this is only a political witch hunt by holding the articles.

Hell - I was cheering by the time Mitch got thru trashing that witch and the whole DEM process.

I was disappointed that he didn't end with = "these erzatz 'articles of impeachement' do not meet Senatorial Standards for a constitutional process - so we are rejecting it in whole."

If anything Pelosi just revealed that this entire charade has been a political stunt and continues to be a political stunt.

No way Pelosi comes out of this a winner.

I'm not sure what the play is here.

If she doesn't want to send it to the Senate, what does Mitch care? No skin off his nose.

But now she can't send it later or it will look like she caved. Mitch proved in 2016 he's willing to run out the clock.
