The American press sucks...I don’t think it will even get to the Senate. The Dems are scared to death of discovery.
The Dems want to do as much damage to DJT as they can, and, in the long run, it won’t work.
Blocking Garland was the ONLY thing I ever saw Yurtle man-up enough to do.
it would be over before Ilhan Omar could marry another male relative.

LOL!
Good one.
These people are a bit slow. The entire Republican party was and much of it clearly still is part of the corrupt swamp.
I don’t think McConnell gets enough credit.
He’s very effective.
Cocaine Mitch isn’t a fool, Articles of Impeachment, not “Impeachment Inquiry” not “Orange Man Bad Impeachment Investigation” or anything like that so the Dems can dance around the terminology. Articles of Impeachment, properly drawn to the constitution, if not, throw it in the trash can.
The MSM and Dems were expecting Cocaine Mitch to say that he wouldn’t hold the trial/vote, but he called their bluff and said he would. They were not expecting that.
Since the Legislature is dead with a Democrat house, the Judicial branch is even more important.
“Yertle” gets it done.
I think McConnell is doing OK overall but both McConnell and Graham can do far, far better on the federal judge front. Last week the Senate voted on and confirmed ZERO District Court nominees. The week preceding that the Senate voted on and confirmed ZERO District Court nominees. Earlier in September the Senate returned from a six week summer recess. And now they’re on yet another recess for two weeks.
When Trump assumed office there were 86 vacant District Court judgeships. You know, the District Judgeships which sabotage President Trump when they’re occupied by an agenda-driven ‘RAT appointee. The number of vacancies has increased and there are now 97 vacant District Court judgeships.
There are 71 of Trump’s Judicial nominees pending confirmation in the Senate (of which 51 are pending in Lindsey Graham’s Judiciary Committee). This is INEXCUSABLE! Graham needs to no longer allow the DemocRATS to use the Blue Slip process to stop consideration of Trump’s nominees. And McConnell needs to schedule confirmation votes on nominees quicker after they’re out of the Judiciary Committee.
This has been McConnell's biggest accomplishment the past few years.
Does he get everything 100% correct? Nope. None of us do. Is the work he's done with judicial appointees since PDJT came to office substantial and long-lasting? Yep.
Say what you will about him, Yertle saved the republic from years of misery when he singlehandedly stood up to Zero and the liberal establishment and quashed the Merrick Garland nomination to the Supreme Court.
Not that conservatives on this forum could pause their criticism long enough to thank him.
Antonin Scalia died in 2016. McConnell managed to prevent Obama’s nominee from being put on the Court. I don’t know if he would have managed to do it if Scalia had died in 2015.
Pelosi’s main objective is to wound Trump’s 2020 campaign with an impeachment determination around his neck. And if it leads to a removal or a close acquittal in the Senate so much the better. We must remember that Trump is a threat to the Uniparty and even a Republican dominated Senate is not to be considered a lock.
Turtle’s biggest failure was not identifying to VOTERS, those GOP-e Senators who were unreliable.
He would rather enjoy his power world than help clean up the GOP.
McCain should have been thrown out decades before he died.
Romney should never have been made a Senator
MooKoww from AK
Graham
Flake
Everyone of them is a flake and will do ANYTHING for a buck
Mitch has been amazing... God Bless him...
The American press sucks...P
In fact, after tonight, we don’t have to worry about impeachment at all.

His statement about how the Senate would have to take it up was a clear call to Pelosi’s bluff. He’s saying...okay...impeach and let’s look at the evidence...in a full light.
I agree. McConnell has been brilliant and tireless.
He’s re-inserted the Senate as the higher of the two Houses, the intelligent and circumspect one.
