House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) surprised his colleagues and the media by announcing late Thursday night that the votes on articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump would be postponed until 10:00 a.m. Friday morning.
Republicans exploded in outrage. Ranking Member Doug Collins (D-GA) protested angrily that the sudden schedule change had not been discussed with the opposition.
Other Republicans interjected, as Nadler gaveled the hearing closed. “Stalinist!” Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-TX) shouted. Others said that Nadler’s move was symbolic of the arbitrary rule they had come to expect on the committee.
Reporters were also stunned. “We are genuinely surprised, all of us,” MSNBC anchor Brian Williams said. Correspondent Garrett Haake agreed, noting that there had been “genuine anger” from Republicans at being blindsided.
Collins vented his frustration as the cameras rolled. “Chairman Nadler’s integrity is zero. His staff is zero,” Collins told the press. “That was the most Bush-league play I have ever seen in my life, because they just want to get in front of the camera.”
Everyone — Democrats, Republicans, and journalists — had expected a vote, after a debate that began at 7:00 p.m. the night before, continued well into the night, reconvened at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, and ended at about 11:15 p.m.

Good show! Pip pip and all that rot.
I think the lard ass wants to wait til Friday the 13th to do it cause he’s a spiteful bastard
Agree.
That and like I said. Pig Face does not have the votes even in committee I would suspect.
The Republicans knew it and were ready to push his face into a pile of dough so he could made pig cookies.
weird thread. of course he’s got the votes in the judiciary committee.
he wanted a bigger audience than he would have had at midnight.
Seems like the more likely scenario.
He was feelin’ a mite peckish
Simple explanation: Nadler’s takeout showed up and the guy doesn’t like his Kung Pao Chicken reheated. The rice just isn’t the same. Or, maybe his fortune cookie read “Epstein didn’t kill himself. Love, Nancy” .
Who is watching?
Are personal gifts given for Hanukkah?
If so, will somebody please buy Jer a new pair of suspenders?
That’s probably photo shopped, but not by much.
Or maybe there just wasn’t anything good to watch:

When your enemy or opponent is destroying themselves don’t get in the way!
Maybe they were watching the election results coming from the U.K.
wouldn’t that be the bee’s knee’s!
I don’t think it’s because he doesn’t have the votes. I believe this is a done deal. They want a fresh audience and an opportunity to spin the UK vote to say it won’t happen here. When you climb on a train that’s going to the end of the line you can’t get off. Even if the bridge is out.
I think the same and maybe they have finally realized how stupid and juvenile they look as their charges are falsified. Nah, who am i kidding????????
Yah probably had something to do with it too. I so hope they don't vote it out of committee. I would NOT be surprised considering the huge stink it would cause for Democrats AND Republicans if Trump were actually allowed to mount a defense in the Senate.
Or maybe it’s such a fiasco that he does’t want it splashed across weekday headlines.
One or the other?
Both?
Neither?
And where the heck was I?
That last one was a joke from “The Naked Gun” :)
That would be so amazing if they didn’t have the votes. I can’t imagine the LOCK STEP DRONES of the Democrat party actually thinking for themselves. Maybe Q has had an affect on them after all. :) CD.
Yup. That's pretty much what Doug Collins said. Collins was *livid* when Nadler pulled this "bush-league" stunt at about 11:17 pm ET.
I think they saw what happens when your Party gets taken over by “Woke-ists”, as happened with The Labour Party in the UK.
