Todays Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
As of today, in the wake of Robert Muellers exit from the sedition stage, the Democrat Party is left with two choices: They can either do what the hotheads in their demented voter base and congressional caucus want, and move down the fools gold-paved road to impeachment, or they can have a shot at maintaining their majority in the House of Representatives in the 2020 elections.
They cant have both.
See, San Fran Nan is not quite as dumb as she looks (and granted, she looks awfully dumb most of the time). The doddering, stammering old hack has political power now, and she understands that, in todays Washington, DC, that is the difference between raking in the big bucks and being on the outside watching the money train leave the station. She doesnt want to go back to being a spectator after just two years.
The problem she has is that her base of power is a very shaky one. She has a fairly sizable majority of 235D-197R (three seats are currently vacant), but well over 30 of those D seats are held by Democrats who managed to win in marginal Republican districts in 2018. To make matters even more shaky, most of those Democrats are freshmen who have little real influence with and loyalty from their constituents.
It has been reported that the only real reason why Pelosi has not turned to Jabba the Nadler and told him to go ahead with impeachment hearings is not because she knows such an effort would never be able to succeed in the GOP-majority senate, but because House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and the rest of her leadership team keep telling her she does not even have the votes to win in her own House caucus. See, almost all of those freshmen representing GOP districts want to get re-elected in 2020, and they know that as soon as they call for the impeachment of a sitting President for no real reason other than Trump Derangement Syndrome, they can just fold up their tent and go back to living a real life in the real world, and who wants to do that?
So, what is a shaky old hack to do? How do you keep the restless natives from revolting while still holding onto some chance at maintaining your power base in an election that lies 17 long months away?
Well, you do what shes been doing, which is to keep throwing out the occasional impeachment red meat that you know will make the headlines at the Drudge Report to your members while stopping just short of actually heading down that doomed-to-fail road. San Fran Nan has resorted to that tactic at pretty much every public speaking event shes held in the past couple of months, and she did it again yesterday at some event or another who the hell knows what it was? CNN whose report was linked by the Drudge Report naturally doesnt say.
Regardless of CNNs standard lousy reporting, Pelosi first noted that only about 15% of her caucus are outspoken on impeachment right now, but then tossed out the red meat by continuing with nothing is off the table. But CNNs fake reporter Jim Acosta quoted an un-named Democrat (because of course he or she wasnt named) as saying that Pelosis natives are growing more restless. Man, is that some perfect CNN fake reporting, or what?
Pelosi then made the funniest statement of all, when she promised that The Congress will continue to investigate and legislate to protect our elections and secure our democracy. First of all, the national Democrat Party at this point could not care less about doing anything to secure our democracy. Literally every action that party has taken for many years now has been designed to undermine our democratic Republic and our personal liberties, and that is not going to change.
And the congress will certainly continue to investigate, because that is the House Democrats sole agenda. But legislate? Please. Stop it. Your own voters dont even believe that anymore.
So theres Pelosis Choice. (Wasnt that a movie once?) At this point, you almost have to wonder what it is that drives her to keep going. Shes 79 years old, an age when most ordinary Americans strive to be blissfully retired and taking it easy.
But San Fran Nan is like so many members of congress in both parties: They just seem to want to keep going and going, lording their power over the rest of us until life leaves them no choice.
Why, its as if power itself is a narcotic (it is) and no one in Washington appears more regularly loony from that narcotics effects than Nancy Pelosi.
That is all.

Impeach or get off the pot! There is not much time left to impeach. It will be a long hot summer!
The "Democrat Darlings of Diversity"
They will have neither!
In 2016, Nancy brought a Congressional delegation to Mexico City to meet with Mexican dignitaries. Pelosi told the Mexican president and his entourage: We come here as a bipartisan and large delegation to express our respect for the people of Mexico and the country of Mexico; to acknowledge our shared border and our shared values and to learn more about how we can work together for the bright future for not only our two countries but for our hemisphere.
Pelosi later said the Congressional delegation had a busy time in Mexico City. We heard a sermon on the importance of workers in Mexico, a view we share. Weve met with members of the American Chamber of Commerce. We had a very beneficial meeting with Director General Zapata on the subject of the economy and on the subject of TPP (trade pact) especially.
"And then we had a glorious meeting, a really very thorough exchange of subjects and views again about our shared values and our shared border with the President [of Mexico]......with Members of the Federal Deputies Mexican Federal Deputies and Senators. And in the evening we had a dinner meeting with the Mexican Foreign Minister, Pelosi said.
=============================================
PELOSI DEMEANS AMERICAN CITIZENS WHILE ON MEXICAN SOIL
PELOSI SLAMS DONALD TRUMP TO MEXICAN OFFICIALS
(BEFORE TRUMP GOT THE NOM AND GOT ELECTED BY 63 MILLION AMERICANS)
CIRCA 2016----Pelosi in Mexico telling Mexican officials Trump is speaking to an "insecure minority," who maybe lost their job and
think it was because of immigration, or trade. I think it's putting too much weight on all this. Trump only has one half of one half, 25%."
The 2016 Congressional delegation to Mexico also included Democrat Reps. Norma Torres, Lucille Roybal-Allard, Pete Aguilar and Linda Sanchez (Calif.); Beto O'Rourke and Henry Cuellar (Texas); Ruben Gallego (Ariz.); Michelle Lujan Grisham (N.M.); and Republicans Michael Fitzpatrick (Pa.) and Richard Hanna (N.Y.).
SCHADENFREUD Beto sucked-up bigtime for latino votes....but still lost his Texas race against Cruz.
Ilhan Omar----harbinger of Democrat decline.
Lookit how proud Nancy is of the rag-head. Nancy obediently put
her on the House Foreign Affairs Committee ......at Omar's request.
Is it possible that she would rather do a infrastructure bill with Trump and that she believes him that it is off the table if impeachment is on the table? Yes.
MOST IMPORTANT PART FROM ENTIRE ARTICLE TO TAKE AWAY...
See, almost all of those freshmen (30 DEMOCRATS) representing GOP districts want to get re-elected in 2020, and they know that as soon as they call for the impeachment of a sitting President for no real reason other than Trump Derangement Syndrome, they can just fold up their tent and go back to living a real life in the real world, and who wants to do that?
So, what is a shaky old hack to do? LOL
It is my opinion that just the continuing talk of impeachment is doing the same amount of harm to the Democrat party that would occur if they actually began the impeachment process.
Out side of the extreme left I believe the American people are growing tired of these constant attacks on the President while we have some real problems (that were created by the Democrats such as the current border crisis).
There all corrupt..well 80%....
The GOP is as corrupt as the democrats...
THe democrats fight for what they want ...the GOP is useless..
You’re use of sarcastic side comments (snideliness becomes you) is excellent.
It’s too late. The next election cycle starts in 100 days. Dems have accomplished nothing in this term, and they would have to spend the summer pulling together material and votes to stage an impeachment. And the summer is not the time for that, with recess and all of America distracted.
Until GDBlackmon learns and understands that America is a
CONSTITUTIONAL Republic he is nothing more than another
PROGRESSIVE Republican.
