Pelosi lashes out at reporter amid delays in Senate impeachment trial (IMPEACHMENT HELD HOSTAGE - DAY 3)
NY Post ^ | 12/20/19 | Bob Fredericks, Aaron Feis, Ebony Bowden

After pushing for months to impeach President Trump, Nancy Pelosi abandoned all urgency on Thursday, playing coy on when she would send the case to the Senate - where Republicans accused her of getting “cold feet.”

**SNIP**

“I have a spring in my step because of the moral courage of our caucus.”

But, confronted with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s far dimmer view of the impeachment hearings as the “most rushed, least thorough, and most unfair” in modern history, ­Pelosi’s pre-Christmas cheer soured.

McConnell’s remarks, Pelosi said, “reminded me that our Founders, when they wrote the Constitution, they suspected there could be a rogue president. I don’t think they suspected we could have a rogue president and a rogue leader in the Senate at the same time.”

When a reporter followed with, “To that end, you’re criticizing McConnell today …,” Pelosi cut off the inquiry and grew dour.

“Any other questions on any other things?” she testily asked reporters. “Anyone want to talk about the Mexico free trade agreement? Anybody care about that? Jobs for the American people? Progress in addressing globalism and the issues?

“Any other questions because I’m not going to answer any more questions on this,” she scolded.

“I have a spring in my step because of the moral courage of our caucus.”

The only spring in her step is due to wearing cushions in her high heels to help her bunions.

Anyone who lies that badly is trying to deny they have lost.

Not really, the spring is from taking too many Senokot and it’s kicking in earlier than expected!

If you’ve walked into a poker game and holding a Full House...having put $5,000 down on the table, your most significant risk here is that someone else at the table holds four of a kind or a Straight Flush. Most folks would continue to sit at the table and even double-down on the bet.

In this case, Pelosi was awaken from slumber and now realizes (maybe for the entire past three months) that McConnell actually holds a Straight Flush, and there is virtually no way to lessen the lost money situation.

A rogue President

Projection, it’s what the Left ALWAYS does. What we have is a rogue Congressional House. The Founding Fathers wanted a mechanism to rein in ANYONE who actually has broken the Law. Trump has done NOTHING illegal. Too bad the masses haven’t been apprised of the TRUTH. The TRUTH wil set you free.

What the Democrats either don't realize or don't care, is Trump and the GOP have held that flush since Giuliani and Barr started digging around. Which makes Schiff making a big deal out of Ukraine look like he jumped the gun, and was not going to be told to stop. The Democrats really did not think this through.

Hey Nancy, the internal Dem polls that advised you and your caucus to invoke the Founders and use the term “morally courageous” every other sentence have failed laughably.

<< “Anyone want to talk about the Mexico free trade agreement? Anybody care about that? Jobs for the American people?” >>

The last thing Nan wants to talk about is the fact that the unemployment numbers are lower than they’ve been decades.

“I would LOVE to see her have a TOTAL MELTDOWN!”

I would LOVE to see all of the RATs have total meltdowns in unison, compliments of ... God! Imagine if they were in a session or a hearing, and every time one of them opened his mouth to speak God would make gibberish come out. It would be a beautiful sight to see.

There’s no way the MSM or anyone else could explain away the miracle, except supernatural. Couldn’t blame it on Trump. Couldn’t blame it on any human act. It would be too perfect.
