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.

“...Pelosi is 79 years old. She will be 82 when she has to stand for election again. Is she going to run again? This is her last hurrah....”
The hope here is that when the Grim Reaper snatches the evil, wretched soul from RBG, he goes for a twofer and violently snatches the demonic, vile Botoxian’s as well. He’d do the country a great favor by dragging these two back to Hell from whence they came at the same time. Talk about a homecoming...LOL There’ll be no tears shed here to see either, or both, of em taken.
Whack job Nancy will use the inquiry as a means to perpetuate investigations to just turn more stones over. That’s the point of this. It allows the Dems to politicize Trump’s every move both now and in the past.
She’ll win. Elections under universal suffrage are a sham on the public, a fraud. Liberty always dies under universal suffrage.
“Seriously?”
Can you name a single Democrat who has been jailed for the coup?? For leaking classified information??
Amen!
“...Am I a bad person for hoping the Democrats go right on ahead and shoot themselves in the foot with a bazooka? O_O...”
No...not at all. You’re a patriot.
FWIW, they’re NOT the traditional “democrats” that we all once knew.
They are full-blown, outright COMMUNISTS....and a bazooka isn’t big enough.
Demonrats HATE peace and prosperity!
That’s exactly what I did, the first of several I predict.
Nancy is just following orders from the squad.
Not squad. From Soros via Clinton and Obama
I don’t doubt that. I was just correcting the erroneous statement that she would be 82 when she ran again which would be 2022.
Actually, she is up in 2020.
All that Kool-Aide finally went to her head.
“He is a very, very smart man, and I strongly suspect hes about to deliver a spanking.”
I’m looking for a rope-a-dope.
I just turn down the volume and I look at the crazy.
She is possessed and the eyes are the window that show it.
She knows no truth nor can she reflect it in any way.
Shes dead.
The President blew a little smoke and the Democrats pulled the fire alarm.
“The RNC had better run Commercials showing that Video of Biden bragging about blackmailing the Ukrainian Government when he was VP.”

This!
Yes, the RINOS will use this phony investigation as an excuse to refuse to vote for Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg’s replacement, and the numbers give us little leeway to lose votes. It is times like this where the senate seats that were thrown away by a combination of bad candidates and Trumps disastrous pick of Sessions for AG will come back to haunt this country.
Do you think POTUS would've offered to release the transcript if it contained anything incriminating?
