The yertle from Moscow. He believes in trials without a witness or defendant.

When asked about how impeachment proceedings might impact his next election, McConnell was honest: “Who knows,” he said.

I’ve read that several times now, and something about it just won’t parse.

No shit, Mitch. Nancy already laid down the law. Maybe that’s why he’s so “tight-lipped”? He’s not in control of this, at all. No matter how hard he tries to convince the media otherwise.

He may look like a turtle, but he’s an unrepentant pig.

Consider congress isn’t in session until after the holidays this isn’t too surprising.

I’m good with this. Nothing was going to happen anyways, and as we saw on the Friday night e-mail dump, there are more juicy tidbits to come.

Letting things marinate over the holidays means that it’s quite likely that there will be changed ground in the New Year, and that whole get-it-over-with sham trial will be running into more obstacles.

Absolutely, Mich can declare all he wants with those tight lips, he’s not in control.

Hah. Why let a good impeachment trial get in the way of holiday or two? Amiright, Mitch? Isn’t he stating the obvious considering the calendar? Maybe throw in MLK day while you’re at it, huh Mitch? And then Valentine’s Day. No hurry. We’ll still be here and so will Speaker Pelosi. Lot’s of time for townhalls and constituent services in the meantime, motherfucker. (Or should I say Republicans running from the cameras or pretending to talk on their cell phones.)

Like through Easter? The 4th? Labor Day?

Sounds like a plan…

Just in case anyone forgot…We got plenty of time to make these fuckers sweat it out. I do anyways and I can read polls just like Mitch can.

No doubt Trump will be going nuts during the delay between now and the start of the Senate proceedings. He really doesn’t handle uncertainty well, and it seems as if all of his angst leaks out in the form of undisciplined “tweets” that spew his fear at anything that has his attention for that particular moment.

Impressive just how diverse and reflecting of the American population the republican representatives and senators are…

I know. Except that I’m blinded by the light when I look at those pictures. This is a party that knows from years of experience how to whitewash everything they do these days.
