How much funding are they providing for impeachment?

Whatever their Impeachment charade costs, it will be funded. Congressional pay and certain functions of Congress are exempt from shutdowns. How convenient?

Last year, the President (through Pence) signaled that he would sign a CR before Christmas. But then Conservatives (and that includes many here) howled because the Wall funding had been abandoned. In my opinion, we were correct to be outraged. Ryan had betrayed us again, and again.

What they may agree to is a CR that lasts through Impeachment, until February or something.

Pelosi lost her mind yesterday.

She stated she was rushing through Impeachment, and the hapless Nadler asked Doug Collins (R) for a witness list for next week!

Nadler and Pelosi are apparently not even talking to each other.

Pelosi wants this dead bird of Impeachment voted on and sent to the Senate quickly. She wants this albatross off her neck.

Trump wants to call her and Schiff as a witnesses, but I am not sure that Justice Roberts would allow that under the Speech or Debate Clause for Congress (they have immunity except for Treason or Felony).

Trump could play his hand to shut down the government to show what dweebs the Democrats are (i.e. not doing their jobs at all).

What happens to the military, to air traffic controllers, law enforcement, and other more vital functions of government? Well, they go to work unpaid. But it's more likely that a shutdown would hurt Trump politically more than Democrats. It's just they way it is.

This fiasco (and it is) is but another card in the poker deck.

I am guessing that there is not going to be anymore, and Republicans will be suggesting that they should have done it if they were going to before they wasted so much money nd three years accomplishing nothing.

LOL - they have to resolve it before their “impeachment” goes to the Senate, or the Senate cannot vote on it until their trial is finished.
