On Tuesday evening Nancy Pelosi made one of the most colossal blunders in the modern history of American electoral politics. Rejecting the accumulated wisdom of a long and successful career in the House of Representatives, she set aside her own instincts and announced the beginning of formal impeachment proceedings against President Trump on the basis of a third-hand rumor about a phone call with the president of a Eurasian republic.
Pelosi knows this will not be popular. She knows more than that. She knows that it will be a disaster for the Democratic Party, that it will inflame the president's base and inspire even his most lukewarm supporters with a sense of outrage.
She knows that in states like Michigan, upon which her party's chances in 2020 will depend, the question of impeachment does not poll well.
She knows, further, that Joe Biden will not be able to spend the next 14 or so months refusing to answer questions about the activities of his son, Hunter, in Ukraine, and that increased scrutiny of the vice president's record in office will not rebound to his credit. She and her fellow Democratic leaders had better hope that someone like Elizabeth Warren manages to steal the nomination away from him before this defines his candidacy the way that Hillary Clinton's emails and paid speechmaking did during and after the 2016 primaries.
Why? Because her hand has been forced. The same members of her caucus who have clamored for Trump's impeachment on the basis of his immigration policy, his non-existent collusion with Russian authorities during the last presidential election, and his ownership of various hotels have once again lighted upon high crimes and misdemeanors.

“I expect the whistle blower embellised what he’d heard rumored”
Do we even know for sure the Whistleblower is a “he” or whatever the left calls them these days?
I agree with the headline. Nan goofed today.
Either way they are trying to hype their extremist base whatever happens. They all put out lies and since they suffer no consequences the media repeats and says just reporting the news.
OMG! Tearing a mattress label!?
Send him to Guantanamo IMMEDIATELY!
The most shocking thing about this article is that it from msm.com.
Lol
She may be a liberal darling on the two coasts but in between, she's toxic.
Trump waited until this new with hunt was announced today, Tues. 23rd, to let loose on Wed the 24th to release the transcript of the telephone call
WHAT TIMING!
The left is going to get hurt real bad now. They have no game.
You are right Old Hostile Hands is not going play well across the country.

TDS has consequences. The remains of their sanity has powdered away, as if some thanos snapped his fingers and it all crumbled away.
Yes he can. Impeachment is a political process.
I hope Trump wins reelection in a landslide
..and therefore, doesn’t deserve “whistle blower” status. The only reason they’re claiming it is because of the special protections it receives...you don’t have to name them - but it isn’t a justified claim.
So it’s a nameless, faceless accuser that knows nothing about anything. This whole thing is absurd.
That said, where did the story-line of PDJT threatening the withholding aid come from? PDJT himself??? Did the D’s just assume they could claim “whistle blower” and use this to “finally get him”? ....when it turns out the narrative was a lie, he did no such thing, but has exposed the fact that Biden did? The video of Biden admitting it is for all to see - if DPJT did something wrong, with the claim they’re making, then what Biden did was worse, along with “what on earth was his son doing working for them?”. Was this money laundering? Taxpayer money going directly into the hands of family members by the millions?
There’s only ONE good outcome for them, while there’s several BAD outcomes. I’ve feeling they’re going to wish they never did this.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I like your thinking
I think you’re on to something. RBG might not last the year. They need to stop the appointment of another SCOTUS justice.
Investigate Pelosi’s millions, and any political quid pro quos that led to them.
That’s my opinion. They want to cause procedural “crimes” - any mistreatment of a “whistle-blower”, or at least distort the meaning of the protections it offers, to claim guilt of something....while hiding and protecting the person.
That they concede this “person” didn’t actually hear the conversation themselves means this “person” can’t qualify as a “whistle-blower”, it makes no sense. So it has to be this “person” is just a ghost. A real person would have no teeth, they’d only get dragged through the mud only to declare they never heard anything, just hearsay. Then would be pressured to disclose who told them.
Even if PDJT did threaten to withhold something to advance an agenda, that doesn’t make it criminal. As there is ample evidence of the Biden family engaging in crimes it would be improper to not investigate. Just because Biden is competing for a political office should not obstruct justice being served, if appropriate. If they’re going to claim what PDJT said (claim) then the same is true for Biden, except it involved his son being paid absurd money...a complete conflict of interest.
My guess....RBG must be on her last breath - this came out of nowhere and, yet again, has zero evidence of any wrongdoing, just innuendo and speculation leading to tantrums! The only other matter might be to just deflect from Biden & son money laundering, except if true, they’ve only brought attention TO the problem....but then they’re demonic, mentally ill, and can’t help themselves! Trump must go!
One more procedure and he’ll have a goatee.
