    "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Friday that she will take steps next week to send impeachment articles to the Senate, after delaying the process since last month in a bid to extract favorable terms in a trial.

    “I have asked Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler to be prepared to bring to the Floor next week a resolution to appoint managers and transmit articles of impeachment to the Senate. I will be consulting with you at our Tuesday House Democratic Caucus meeting on how we proceed further,” Pelosi, D-Calif., wrote in a letter to colleagues."

    Nancy blinks. She choked. She gave in. McConnell told her to stuff her demands and won. Now the impeachment will move forward with the same rules as Clinton's 1999 impeachment, as McConnell has been saying for more than a week now.

    Curious what she means by proceed further once she forwards the articles its out of her hands.

    This is crazy talk
    “In an impeachment trial, every Senator takes an oath to ‘do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws.’ Every Senator now faces a choice: to be loyal to the President or to the Constitution,” she wrote. “No one is above the law, not even the President.”

    You have to pick Trump or the Constitution???

    The articles of impeachment dont mention broken laws at all!

    Might as well get it over with — we all know where this goes — the senate has heard 15 trials and each time they have called and allowed witnesses. The republicans have ignored their constitutional duties. May the public remember this come election day.

    If that was the case his approval numbers would have moved from the -8% he has been at for virtually his entire term in office.

    It will be interesting what his numbers do when his tax returns are released plus the sexual harassment lawsuit that was just allowed to continue.
    Along with the debates — if he is man enough to do them — if they resemble his recent interviews... he is done.

    Along with theft from his charity and the dozen or more scandals he will likely have before November... Y'all are backing a winner!

    Not really anything she can do. She has no control in the senate. Just alot of political games and BS.

    She can blackmail by threatening to send more articles.

    Nancy has proven she's just a hack. Not that that hasn't been apparent for a long time, but this sure demonstrates it again. Wait till little Adam has to testify... Is there enough popcorn in the world??

    My understanding is that they will follow the same Senate rules afforded by Clinton. Is that not good enough for you?

    Democrats collided and strategized with Clinton prior to the trial? They refused all witnesses? And all evidence?

    You must be referring to the house trial for Trump as that is EXACTLY what happened to the republicans.

    It's a common tactic of the left to try to negatively label anyone as evil that might disagree with them. Screw that ole donkey face hag.

    Wait, didn't The House refuse witnesses that the Republicans wanted to call? Was that a bad thing then or is it just a bad thing now?

    McConnell didn't refuse to let witnesses testify, as the left so dishonestly claims.

    “We haven't ruled out witnesses,” McConnell said Monday in an interview with “Fox and Friends.” "We've said let's handle this case just like we did with President Clinton. Fair is fair."

    There is a time stamp on each post. I started my thread and here is the time stamp:
    LogNDog, Today at 10:33 AM
    This thread started with this time stamp:
    tharock220, Today at 12:09 PM

    Let me help you out here. Anyone being of less than average intelligence might not be able to figure out that I started this thread before the other by more than an hour.

    You're welcome. :icon_picknose::lol:

    She can try but once she's sent the articles and the senate has started she is pretty much locked in unless she wants to do a separate impeachment, which would work out great for the right.

    In MY Time Zone Your Thread is Time-Stamped 12:33 PM.

    You do understand the concept that Time Stamps vary due to Time Zone Settings?

    Thus any attempt to "prove" your point (based on Time Stamps) is an Epic Fail.

    And, the OTHER Thread was Time Stamped LONG Before Yours (in my Time Zone)

    PROVE Me Wrong.

    You CAN'T.

    Anyway, back to the OP Topic:

    The timing was correct, since there is ZERO Chance of Conviction in the GOP Senate.

    Better to just get it over with, Since DISHONEST Mitch has already gamed the Trial in Trump's Favor..

    Pelosi is Clearly OWNING Trump on this:

    The time stamps are not based on their time zones but on the time zone you are in. Basics.

    Mitch is using the same rules that they used for the Clinton impeachment. Not good enough for you? Too bad. The left can pound sand if they don't like it..

    Again, let me help. I didn't move into different time zones to get different date stamps as you might think. The other thread has been deleted as it was stamped after the thread I started. I am always here to help people understand the simpler things in life. Proved you wrong. It wasn't hard.
    You are welcome. :popcorn:

    I am so glad we are at a point where we operate with gotcha’s and payback’s instead of rule or law or even basic levels of integrity.
