Pelosi now has Democrats calling her out on the articles of impeachment

It must be tough being Nancy Pelosi these days.

First, she spent all of the year warning that a partisan impeachment (one-party vote) would divide the country further and not really work.

Second, she was persuaded to rush the articles of impeachment before Christmas, only to delay sending article of impeachment to the U.S. Senate.

Now some Senate Democrats are asking for her to send the articles to the U.S. Senate.

This is from NBC:

A growing number of Democratic senators are saying it's time for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to submit the articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the Senate.

"We are reaching a point where the articles of impeachment should be sent," Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., told reporters Wednesday.

In an interview with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell on Tuesday, Sen. Angus King, a Maine independent who caucuses with the Democrats, said he believes "it is time for the speaker to send" the articles.

On top of that, I wonder how many of those Trump district Democrats are crazy about the delay, too.  These Democrats were told last fall that the impeachment vote was crucial to protect our Constitution.

Nancy the Drunk us the best thing to happen to Republican taking back the house. She has sabotaged the democrats in weak districts who voted for impeachment.

“Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn”

One too many “n”.

How this man is in office is beyond me. It says very bad things about the voters in Connecticut.

No chance they are calling out Pelosi unless it was part of their plan. My guess is they have extended the damage they can inflict in the House, so now they’re hoping Senate DEMs can make it appear the GOP has no interest in seeking the “truth”. At least that’s how the MSM will spin it.

I’m not so sure. This sounds scripted, but I can’t figure out their “end”game.

“Nancy the Drunk us the best thing to happen to Republican “

She was never very bright, but she was cunning, and had good instincts. Years of alcohol abuse, more than a little dementia, and a base that has lurched farther left than she calculated has rendered Nan useless.

Given that Pelosi is, and always was evil, I enjoy whatever discomfort comes her way.

Will be great for Biden to have his biggest competition away in DC during primary season. Iowa will hit smack in the middle of this. I really want to see the Trump v. Biden debate. Joe will be a train wreck and the landslide in 2020 will be awesome if that happens.

Perhaps her handlers are prepping her for a speech to blame “some” Rats, and say that “This absolutely necessary (and solemn) impeachment process is not only dividing the country, but starting to divide our glorious party members, so we will “table” this (until such time as we deem that it will hurt Trump to bring it up again), and let’s just elect BJ’s wife.”

“Well, he is a war hero!”

THAT grinds my gears. That alone renders anything the man says unbelievable.

I would pay to see that man given the beating he so richly deserves.

The house Dems are still looking for a crime that they can pencil in on the impeachment charges before they send them. At this point they will accept jay walking as a high crime.

I don’t think they really have one, seems to be “throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks” going on here.

McConnell is going to do the trial at the worse possible time for them. Remember most of their presidential candidates are senators.....

No matter what happens during that debate, Quid-Pro Joe will be deemed the “winner” by the MSM.

The guy got caught lying about being in Vietnam and they made him a Senator. I’m sure many who voted for this POS had family who died there. Unbelievable.

Pelosi is nowhere near conniving enough to earn the "Jezebel" title. That belongs to the always-scheming Hillary Rodham Clinton.

This disastrous strategy was pushed by Harvard’s Laurence Tribe, often described as a Constitutional scholar. I think we can put that description to rest once and for all. He got this one wrong, BIGLY!
