“The House’s hour is over,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declared Thursday in a floor speech slamming Democrats for putting on a “partisan performance” celebrating the signing of articles of impeachment by handing out souvenirs and posing for smiling photos.

In a contrived signing ceremony Wednesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) signed the articles of impeachment, one letter at a time, using golden pens delivered to her on a silver platter – which she handed out as souvenirs, McConnell said:

Someone mentioned that her custom pens were on backorder, and that’s why she waited so long to sign the document...

Yes Pelosi orchestrated this to be on the same day as the signing of the Trade Deal with China. But the optics backfired horribly for her. The New York post had both signings on their cover today, and tells you all you need to know. And the Umpa parade of clowns over to the senate by the House Managers was even criticized by CNN. The dems are so stupid, they don’t even know their MSM buddies are making fun of them.

Pelosi's Impeachment Theater of The Absurd was well-produced:

Nancy signed the articles with a full court press and now has a video of herself to rerun again and again, to bask in her glory.

===================================

Does Nanzi have a production deal with Netflix?
Maybe a reality TV show? "I was A Fact-Checker For Impeachment."

It is entirely up to us to make sure that all happens.

Make them a minority again and then start investigations into this scam in the NEW house judicial committee.

I’m betting it was taxpayer money.

She delayed the whole impeachment thing because she was waiting on the special pens she ordered from China!

Circling the drain in gold plated boats. These horrid seditious money launderers fighting for their goods are going to really get pay back from the public.

It's now an absolute that American politics has been using taxpayer money and laundering it thru the state department for their own enrichment and that of their relatives and friends.

So they are ball point pens with her signature imprinted on them. Typical Mafia.

Now if they were Mont Blanc fountain pens - that is class. Trump is class.

All I can hope is that the political IQ bell curve has not finally shifted too far left. We're running out of time to set things right.

I'm praying that this phony impeachment will open enough eyes to the gimcrack posturing of the harridan, Peeloosey, and her toadies.

Someone shoukd remind Pontius Pelosi that Jews don’t wear crucifixes to celebrate the crucifixion, Christians wear them to honor Jesus’s sacrifice. I would love to have one of those Pontius Pelosi pens to remind how much persecution Trump has endured from those who scream “Crucify Him!”

Much like how Nazis handed out Stars of David to the Jews.

I have a special pen, too.

I’m saving it to write pen pal letters to Nancy when she’s in prison.

“Dear Nancy: how is the prison chow? Have you made any new friends?”

She was absolutely giddy like a junior high cheerleader during this solemn procedure. My disgust for Democrats continues to grow despite my having thought I’d peaked out.
