I’m having a winning overdose.

LOL!!!!

“That would undoubtedly be the headline if a Republican was pulling this stunt.”

Exactly.

The DNC Media are enemies of the Republic.

[binreadin]

It is past tome to refresh the tree of liberty. Our Republic is broken and we are now at least in part governed by our enemies.

She has a edict from the Senate to turn them over by January 12th (less than three days) or the case will be dismissed.

She probably wants them to be a memorial to RBG.

[hsmomx3]

She’ll probably turn them over at 11:59PM the day of that deadline.

[kempster]

Adam Smith got “the look”.

[KC_Conspirator]

Dismiss this crap now.

[Vigilanteman]

McConnell can allow her to play this stupid game as long as he deems it politically advantageous. Then, at some point, he will have to announce a tentative date about two month hence and say if she doesn’t deliver the articles at least 30 days before that date, then he would have to reschedule at an indefinite time in the future. Or entertain a motion to dismiss all charges.

At my age......oh, what?? nanzi should be Baker acted.😵

[Starboard]

Not only is this a clear abuse of power, it is also contrary to their claims of ‘urgency’.

This is a fake impeachment that has totally backfired on the Dems.

All those Democratic Senators trying to run for POTUS must be getting nervous if the trial starts later this month. IA is on Feb 3 and NH is Feb 11. These Senators stuck in DC while Biden and Alfred E. Newman have the campaign trail all to themselves.

"She has a edict from the Senate to turn them over by January 12th (less than three days) or the case will be dismissed."

That was a proposed rule change. It hasn't been enacted.

[Mariner]

Hubris.

Her own party will bring her to heel.

[caww]

After Ignoring Pence Call on Iran Attack, Pelosi was Spotted at Swanky New Restaurant's Opening partying....while assessments were being done as to our soldiers welfare and the bases iran had attacked.

This was her way of "closely watching" the events happening

[Lee Enfield]

I think that she hasn’t turned over the articles because she got drunk and left them in the back of a cab.

[cranked]

Keep digging that hole deeper, PelosiIdiot, please.

[IamConservative]

Lawfare talked Nancy out on this limb believing Mitch wouldn’t have 51 votes. Now Mitch is between her and the tree sawing away.

If you’re going to play the leverage game, you better have it before play begins.

[hanamizu]

I’ve been thinking that she might order the Sergeant-At-Arms to announce Trump’s arrival for the STOU “Madam Speaker, the impeached President of the United States”, at which point Trump turns on his heel and walks out.

Remember when she did her exaggerated claps in his face at the last one?

[Yo-Yo]

What if they threw an impeachment and nobody came?

[SMARTY]

Nan has put herself into a s&^t jackpot and doesn’t know how to get out
