WASHINGTON (AP) The top Senate Republican is denouncing the unfair House impeachment of President Donald Trump and reassuring Trump and his supporters that moments like this are why the United States Senate exists.
Sen. Mitch McConnell, in remarks prepared for a Thursday floor speech, accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of being afraid to send their shoddy work product to the Senate after she threw uncertainty into the impeachment process by refusing to say when she would send two impeachment articles to the Senate for a trial.

What a foolish fake post
That indeed may be her thinking.
She needs to keep her base motivated to protect the Rat “down ticket” (Meaning keep her Speakership!).
I doubt if it works.
Did you listen to the address?
Apparently not
Steny Hoyer should have been the democrat leader in the house.
Pelosi is speaking now and desperately trying to change subject away from impeachment. Perhaps she is trying to stop it by pocketing it.
Bravo Mitch. GOP is handily winning the Public Relations war on this.Keep the boot on the Democrat Fascists Party throat, do not give an inch
de l’audace, encore de l’audace, et toujours de l’audace
The purpose of the stall is not for “popularity.”
The purpose of the stall is to get the USSC to admit ALL of the Mulehead Grand Jury testimony.
Botoxic isn’t this smart, but her handlers with Lawfare are VERY smart and so far have managed this to perfection from a certain perspective.
Sundance, at “the Conservative Treehouse” warned 2 months ago that how the House set the rules would result in exactly this verdict and process.
Nancy will sit on it until she gets Piles
The articles of impeachment are only valid for the current Congress. They would have to start the whole process over again in 2021. Also, they would need more than a majority, they need 67 votes to remove. There is no scenario in which they would get that many votes.
Nancy voted against impeachment of Bubba and fought for censure. Could that be what they are up to?
“Dont be so quick. He is now admitting that the House can set the timetable for the SENATE”.
I didn’t see that at all. I watched McConnell and it was easy to read between the lines: The senate will not accept these illegitimate and unacceptable Articles of Impeachment.
Perfect pre-emptive takeover of the debate.
Perfect!
Calling the other side too afraid is a great way to control the debate as much as possible.
Is that like........quid pro quo??
It sounds to me like he's backing her into a corner. The longer she waits, the more her base will become angry with her because they've wanted this from day one, and now Nancy's afraid to pull the trigger. Also, if she's so concerned about "saving the country" and "defending the constitution", what legitimate reason does she have for waiting? What happened to the "sense of urgency" she's been talking about? All Nancy is doing is further exposing this as the politically motivated sham that it is.
The Dems are hemorrhaging voters on this. They starting to lose their own base. There is utterly no reason what so ever for the GOP to give them a life line by playing with them on this. Let the public relation damages continue to the Democrat Party as long as they are stupid enough to let it.

Again, SO WHAT.
The house already voted and passed Articles. The Senate isn’t going to remove Trump. It doesn’t matter, and nothing they throw at him reduces his popularity and his chances at re-election.
Mitch doesn’t care what Nancy does. He doesn’t dance to her tune.
Pelosi used to annoy me; now I relish seeing her stumble about. She seems to have reached the point in dementia where she still has some lucid moments, and in those moments realizes what a senile fool she is in the time she can’t recall.
Just assured Trump’s reelection in 2020 MAGA
