With how radical the Dems are these days, I would have though she would have gone for it within a day or two of her speech. It really makes me wonder if she even has the votes.
They get more bang for the buck by the steady drumbeat of impeachment claims. The drip drip drip every day to get the polls where they want them.
Trump should taunt the living hell out of Nancy night and day. Just troll her to humiliate her and have her own party turn on her. “Nancy, you said I was guilty. You said you had proof? Or were you lying just to get your base of gullible morons to donate money to the lying corrupt DNC. Here I am Nancy. Impeach me. I dare you to!”
Much like in global thermonuclear war, sometimes the best move is to not play at all.
“They get more bang for the buck by the steady drumbeat of impeachment claims.”
Exactly.
They’re never going to hold an impeachment vote. If they impeach Trump then the next day it goes to the Senate and is thrown out, it’s over, end of story. The goal is to keep Trump locked down by the constant drumbeat of impeachment. Once they impeach him it’s over and they can’t have that.
There have already been two votes. Neither passed. This could be why Nancy is ramrodding the impeachment farce now—she wants it, but does not have the votes.
How many understand the reference to Zugzwang?
Lol I was thinking the same thing. I do, and without Googling, even! It’s the biggest self-esteem boost I got today. :D
The DIMS (and some RINOS) are pathetic buffoons and seditionist losers. They ALL should be tarred & feathered . What malignancies on civil society .
Chess endgames: damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
She ####ED UP SO BADLY!!
If they vote, the swing state Ds will get clobbered for siding with her.
If they dont vote, it looks like a kangaroo court and Trump DOESNT have to let anybody testify and if it went to court the dems would lose.
It’s a DISASTER to feed the rabid base and the whims of the deep state.
We must turn out big but i think 2020 could be a fantasti election year for us
“Nancy Pelosi is in an impossible situation.” True. Trapped. And patriots put her there. She is probably very exhausted living this way : without law and order.
I think this impeachment/Kangaroo Trial BS is going to fizzle out and it won’t even get to the Senate.
When RBG announces her retirement, due to severe health issues, then the impeachment charade will disappear. The media will be 24/7 on Trump’s nominee and why he can’t nominate her.
I learned that from Winning Chess by Chernev & Reinfeld. No matter what move you make, you lose either material or position
Of course that implies that the game Pelosi plays is chesslike in that it is fair and has established rules which both side agree upon.
“How many understand the reference to Zugzwang?”
I do, and it’s not synonymous with checkmate, as Mr. Curry seems to imply at the end of his piece.
You’re right, `Zugswang’ does not mean game over, just that any move weakens a player’s position in the game.
And that’s where Pelosi finds herself. I wonder if she’s started doing like Feinstein is known to do; march up to a wavering Democrat and poke them in the chest and growl, “vote my way or I will hurt you”?
I liken them to people in a sinking raft in the middle of the ocean surrounded by man-eating sharks, who decide to cut off their arms and legs to throw to the sharks to keep from getting eaten alive.
They will rue the day they ever tried to run this impeachment scam on Donald Trump.
