The Kabuki Dance in the DC Swamp between San Fran Nan and Cocaine Mitch is about to come to its grand climax. – The only question at this point is whether the drunken Speaker with the constantly misbehaving dentures will cave in and deliver her vodka-stained articles of impeachment to the Senate, or whether the Senate Majority Leader will deem them to have been delivered and begin the Senate trial anyway.
The Hill reported Thursday afternoon that Majority Leader Mitch McConnell:
…warned lawmakers during the caucus meeting that they should not expect to be able to go home next weekend, indicating that the long-delayed trial will be underway.
Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) added that McConnell told senators that the two articles would be sent over “soon,” expecting them in the “next day or two.”
“There’s no reason for us to stay this weekend, but don’t expect to be home next weekend was the basic message,” Cramer added after the closed-door caucus lunch.
This is a clear indication that the master of Senate procedure either has been told by the always semi-lucid Speaker that she plans to communicate the articles to the Senate no later than early next week, or that McConnell has simply had enough of his DC Swamp Kabuki Dance with her and plans to proceed regardless.
McConnell’s advisory to GOP senators came a few hours after a slurring, stammering Pelosi told a gathering of corrupt, fawning reporters that she did not plan to hold the articles in her gnarly claws indefinitely and would deliver them to the Senate “soon”:

"No. I'm not holding them indefinitely. I'll send them over when I'm ready. That will probably be soon."

Well, McConnell already made that crystal clear in a statement on the Senate floor yesterday, announcing that there will be no negotiations with Pelosi over the Senate process, and that he has the 51 votes he needs to proceed with the same rules governing this Senate trial that governed the trial of Bill Clinton.
We told you last week that Pelosi had no leverage in her standoff with McConnell, and yesterday pointed out the reality that the Majority Leader had completely out-flanked her as a result. Hardball politics in the nation’s capital – or anywhere else, for that matter – is all about leverage, and when you have none, you are destined to lose.
Pelosi is destined to lose in her idiotic impeachment scam, and today she appeared to finally, if reluctantly, acknowledge her reality. We’ll see if that momentary lucidity can withstand her third vodka martini tonight.
That is all.
Yo David!!!
Please do not use Pelosi, McConnell, and climax in the same sentence again. Ever!!!
Now, that’s funny. :)
I hope her plane gets snowed in somewhere other than DC.
Nancy Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, Schumer and John Kerry are flying Ukraine Air to Tehran as peace delegates?
That’s Hutzpah!
Either way she lost.
So why exactly is it that you consider the readers of Free Republic
to be so stupid as to require you explain things to us and update
us about the news we all read about yesterday?
Holy smokes!!!! Wow, did you tell him! Get a job or sumfin’
Wow, you chopped Eyes low again. Is your real name Dale Carnegie? You’re not very humble, gunner. Try to live by my life philosophy: Don’t be a Dick
And Perhaps you and Eyes should start hitting a certain link before speaking up...

I don’t meet the criteria in your tag line deepstate spy guy. Find something more productive to do with your spare time
You're kidding, right?
New people come here, get treated like pond scum by the self-appointed blog enforcers, and you expect them to pay for the privilege?
How much money do you suppose this relentless nastiness has drained away from FR over the years? I'll bet it's well into six figures by now.
What a snowflake concept - “I don’t want to pay and if anyone points out I’m a deadbeat who carps about illegal leeches, who think everyone else should pay their way, while being a leech myself, I have a patent excuse to remain a leech.”
Is that right?
If so, that makes it part your fault for all the illegals and other leftist leeches for continuing to think they have an excuse to keep being leeches - people say bad things about them.
