House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Thursday that she’ll send the articles of impeachment to the Senate “when I’m ready,” but that it will “probably be soon.”
What no one seems to be focusing on are the optics of Moscow McConnell’s Kangaroo Court and how it will look to the American people.
Look:
Some countries have female infanticide and are down with it (I can even describe to readers the S.O.P as to how it’s officially done).
But OUR NORMS are not down with this.
And, in my humble opinion, neither should the American people be down with A Trial With No Witnesses.
The norms don’t fit.
And if that fucking Turtle is announcing that the American People are okay with a KGB Senate “trial”, then just maybe the Gloom Patrol is right. (and I do NOT believe that).
I think this means “Your move, Mitch. When you pass a resolution outlining the rules for the Trial on the Senate floor, THEN I will pick my team and they will convey the Articles to the Senate. I’ll believe you have the votes for a sham trial when I see a passed resolution.”
It will be fabulous to force Trump to give the State of the Union address in the middle of his impeachment trial. Obama never got to do that. Oh my! He would be absolutely insane. It would be great theater and all the MSN would be talking about. Hold on just a bit more Nancy!
Get them all on record voting for the Russian-style show trial: Mittens, Collins, Murkowski, Ernst, Gardner, all of 'em. (I never remember names, and I already can name 5 collaborators.) Call their names, make them vote. Make them own it forever.
We may already be there. Clinton’s trial took 5 weeks. The SOTU speech is only 4 weeks away, and Mitch still does not have a resolution on the floor to start a trial. I’m wondering if he is whistling passed the graveyard on this. Why is Mitch holding back ?
What distresses me is the needless criticism of Pelosi. They got this “weaker sex” bullshit all wrong.
She is, literally, a bastion. Holding the line against some very powerful people who care so little that it’s a roulette wheel as to what and who they hate the most…
The U.S.
Other nations
The Planet
People, individually
People, as they interact (VASTLY different than #4 above)
That’s great, and I like her attitude. However, she needs to threaten that she will first hold more hearings and call the witnesses that the Senate is threatening to ignore, such as Bolton - unless Mitch relents.
