Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell set the stage Thursday for a potentially bruising fight between the leadership of the two chambers over impeachment, as he tore into Nancy Pelosi for shoddy work and said Democrats may be too afraid to send the articles to the Senate after the House speaker abruptly held off on transmitting them.
This particular House of Representatives has let its partisan rage at this particular president create a toxic new precedent that will echo well into the future, McConnell said on the floor, accusing Democrats of giving in to "temptation" with their impeachment vote while challenging their handling of the articles in the aftermath.

Dang straight, he did.
Anyone who listened to his address to the president could figure that one out easily enough.
You got that right.
Exactly right, FRiend Eagle.
This is what leadership looks like.
If I could, I’d learn Russian, magically transport myself to the Kremlin, and have a drink or tow and a huge laugh with Vlad over what the DemonShits are doing now.
FBI: I’m waiting for you to come and arrest me for treason.
To the Senate President.
“I dont know what the procedure here is but Mitch has to find a way to wrangle this or this will give Pelosi an out.”
Nope, incorrect.
Vlad would much prefer to be putting the blocks to Hillery Clinton right now , rather than feeling the scourge of Trump on the battle front in Ukraine.
Vlad is not only laughing, he is celebrating how he got Clinton to bring Russian interference right into the election process in 2015- 2016. Putin effed Hillary so hard, that we have video showing us she could hardly walk afterwards. She got her reset button pushed full force.
Ah, OK.
He kept saying *Mr. President* so I presumed it was President Trump.
I think the answer is to deny hes impeached. Just say voting on articles is t impeaching - until they are served to the Senate.
Theres a reason a subpoena needs to be formally and physically served. Theres a reason they make you physically touch it, and then say youve been served.
Its the same with an impeachment: it isnt real if they just hold onto it.
Whether or not this argument would hold up in court, is irrelevant. Just making the claim would raise doubts and make this baseless impeachment look even less legitimate.
I bet Pelosi would send them over to the Senate the minute the White House began denying he is impeached.
Heaven forbid that Warren and her cohorts in the race should be sidelined in the Senate chamber while Dem tortoises make strides toward the finish line.
The urgent national security threat, the existential threat posed by PDJT, is secondary to the prospects of Warren and Sanders.
McConnell refers to Pelosi as “my friend.”
Pelosi refers to McConnell as “rogue leader.”
They would say, "[We,] the House voted to impeach Trump, but the GOP Senate refused to remove him, which everyone knew all along they would do."
Seems to me that Nancy Pelosi disenfranchised 232 voters from her own caucus.
Hey, that’s a good one!
And Mitch McConnell and the Republicans have been living up to that image lately when dealing with the demoncrats.
After McConnell spoke, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer shot back by dismissing the Republican claim that the impeachment was purely partisan as only Democrats voted for it.
"Forgive me, House Democrats cannot be held responsible for the cravenness of the House Republican Caucus and their blind fealty to the president," he said.
Them's fighting words and what a way to broad brush the entire Republican party.
As if he is some paragon of virtue.
And people who don't know better will listen to those words and take them at face value.
“And people who don’t know better will listen to those words and take them at face value”.
That is what the Dems rely on so much. They can say almost anything and expect the dumbed down, indoctrinated sheep to believe it. They are blatant in their lies.
Justice delayed is justice denied.
Isnt that what we are told?
