“Every single day, the President is making a case-he’s becoming self-impeachable,” the speaker said.

Stick another toe in, Madam Speaker. The water’s fine.

He became self impeachable in his first 100 days.

I believe we’ll get there sooner or later, but it’ll be after polls like these start to break in Dems favor. Until then, no dice.

She is playing the long game and keeping her powder dry. Impeachment is coming.

Controlling the narative. Nicely done Leader Pelosi, nicely done!

The CW seems to be that the Repugs want to boil the water faster w/ impeachment hearings now because they have a probable terminus before the 2020 elections allowing time for Repugs to recapture the news cycle whereas Dems want to boil the water slowly with impeachment hearings leading the news cycle into the 2020 campaign.

Think this may overplay the importance of the news either way – most of the country probably doesn’t pay anything like the attention we do here – but regardless it seems Pelosi could ‘compromise’ with a series of contempt/censure hearings on members of the administration leading up to the Ginger Git and full frontal impeachment next year.

Maybe OT but I think the media is too obsessed with “Dems in disarray” to target the real enablers, i.e.GOPers.
“Democratic leadership is facing increased pressure from Democrats like Sen. Elizabeth Warren” sounds like Warren is “breaking from the establishment”, but I saw a video today in which Warren was actually criticizing Turtle harshly.
Granted, there’re different opinions among Dems, but I hope the media can put pressure on GOPers and help people distinguish who the real enemies are.

At some point, and with the witless claim of executive privilege over the redacted portions of the Mueller Report we may well have reached it, the duty to uphold the Constitution–which weighs upon Congress as it does on the executive–requires the commencement of impeachment proceedings, even if it looks like they will fail in the end.

And right now she is working him while not giving him the “oxygen” of impeachment proceedings to rail against.

Narcissists require a specialized tool box, one that you would not use in the other 90 plus percent of situations.

Remember that he is afraid of her.

She’s moving slowly but surely, handing out the rope in one hand, building the gallows with the other, while both eyes are on the public’s response to it all.

She’s 100% right here: let him make the case for us…he can’t fucking help himself but do so…and, hopefully, it turns the corner with the public while we do everything possible to help them get there.

All she really had to do was to stop downplaying the possibility of impeachment.

If this interview can be taken as a sign, then maybe she has stopped.

Meanwhile everything else she did say – about wanting to work with Trump on health care and green infrastructure projects (but not clean government!) – all of that was smart, even (and especially!) if she does not think Trump can be trusted to deliver.

Impeachment sets up whole new rules to the game.
I kinda like riding this out and watching trumps brain slowly dissolve into putty.
throw spears into him everyday and sooner or later he will bleed out.
We got time to torture him before impeachment is imminent.
Indict Jr or ivanka and put either one in jail for just 1 night. that will speed things up
lol jordan preaching to something.
Looks like they just woke him up from sleeping in a laundry basket

Too keep with the original poster’s theme: that would have been peeing on her powder.

Better to look like the reluctant executioner than the eager.

What poles need to shift? The GOP is totally beholding to tRump and the polls will not change much from where they are now.

START Impeachment NOW

At this point, it really doesn’t matter. He will continue to defy and deny everything. The handful of idiots who maintain, like McConnell, “it’s over! Investigate the deep state!” will continue, while everyone else (who is paying attention) will see this for the panic and contempt for the Constitution it really is. No one is fooled about what he wants to hide … this is all for the benefit of the deplorables.

I take issue with the statement that the Democratic leadership is feeling pressure from the likes of Elizabeth Warren. Maybe there’s pressure from other House members, but from Warren, I doubt it.

Pelosi is smart to enumerate the issues, in small sound bites, and let them sink in via repetition.
