WASHINGTON — Almost from the moment that Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her lieutenants decided this fall to pursue the impeachment of President Trump, they made a fateful judgment: If the president intended to do nothing but stonewall and subvert their inquiry, they were not going to be the ones politely sticking to lofty traditions.
Mr. Trump’s lawyers have made a similarly cold calculation. After a year of defying without consequence Congress’s attempts to investigate the president’s conduct, they have no intention of taking part in what they view as an illegitimate impeachment, initially conducted without a formal House vote in a break with recent precedent.
The clash comes to a head on Monday with a hearing in the Judiciary Committee where Democratic lawyers plan to present the case for impeaching Mr. Trump while the White House sits out the process. That will set in motion a rapid-fire set of actions likely to produce official charges against the president by week’s end and a nearly party-line vote in the full House before Christmas to impeach him.

The first sentence of this article is a lie. They plotted impeachment since before the inauguration. They have completely run out of ammo except for this one last shot. After this, not even their families will listen to them.
The left’s current talking point on FB and other social media is to say the Pelosi House has been working hard for Americans by passing over 400 bills this year, only to have them languish on Mitch McConnell’s desk.
It’s clear the memo has gone out.
Cartoon of hateful Dem donkey and female voter——
Woman in cartoon may continue with “Oh. I’m not thinking of voting for Trump, either.”
Problem is they say.... suburban women voters are turned off by Trump’s personal style, name calling, the turmoil of political conflict and his tweeting. And Trump is in deep trouble with suburban women who may sway the swing states against him.
I know from the FR that many intelligent women weight the issues and vote conservative. How can we turn the tide for Trump in this demographic?
Partisan Media Shills update.
Yeah. Now NYT is supposedly worried about partisanship.
And so will the Amazon Compost....MSLSD....
“Lindsay’s idea to get 51 votes on day 1 to acquit would just open the senate to charges of partisanship by the house”
absolutely. it’s a stupid idea. our country is eagerly looking for the Senate to discover the truth, not just hold it’s own kangaroo court ...
I believe this is Nancy’s last term either way she goes.
He got hit by a powerful ugly stick.
