“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:

understand, however, if the situation were reversed, and say it was OBunghole being impeached with dems were in charge, you know very well that they’d have thrown it out immediately.<<

Yup!..and the MSM would have praise the dems for upholding the rule of law and preserving the Republic for which it stands...

Don't be fooled....The MSM has become the 4th branch of Government!!

I’m glad Pelosi did this. A childish vulgar display that may have shocked Mitch enough to get his mind right because he has been waffling like hell for the last two days.

If it were possible for democrats to be embarrassed by antics such as the Pelosi souvenir self indulgence, they would find an excuse to call off this whole Impeachment farce. Mitch McConnell had an excellent comment on the whole pitiful pen boastfulness of these low quality govt paid, as in tax funded, House of Representatives elected persons. His remarks are well worth reading and I am expecting that the Republicans are well prepared for the antics and lying that the paying public will be witness to in the coming weeks. Commie Dems with their best and brightest brains on display.

They plan everything based on his schedule to try and steal any positive accomplishment.

She needs to get up to speed on cheap Conference give-away swag. A pen? Sheesh, that was passé 25 years ago.

Even the crap in this picture was in vogue 10 or more years ago.

She should have at least given every one of them a nice $100,000 wake surfing boat to commemorate the occasion.

Better yet, why not get all the male Senators a nice Sugar Baby for a year? They'll keep it quiet, no doubt.

You should call the WH with that suggestion. I love it. He should also have one at every rally.

I would also love to know how much those pens cost the taxpayers.

Did my tax dollars help pay for gloating?

That’s what we call an unforced error. Could be used to absolutely hammer the dims as out of touch with ordinary Americans. Get all the receipts and details of this purchase and go to town on Pelosi and the house dims.

Trump can do likewise, except with a lot more pomp and circumstance, once he’s exonerated (or the case gets thrown out of the senate. He can invite all members of congress, with special invitations for Nancy and Schiff and Nadler and the house impeachment managers. CNN and MSNBC and the rest of the liberal media can be invited to the celebration.

Celebration can be conducted at a large stadium, with Twitter and Facebook and all TV and radio stations doing the live broadcasts. A two-hour gloat speech by Trump would be mandated.

This is why she waited so long to deliver the articles. Those pens were on back order.

They just came in. So now on with the show!

Trump should get one and use it to sign every damn thing he’s actually accomplishing for Americans.

The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.

No way do the democrats have the votes.

Maybe I am paranoid but I honestly believe that the golden pen show was meant precisely for Trump supporters. “Look what you low life’s paid for, these.classy pens that I used to sign Trumps articles of impeachment.”

fitting, given that they represent political suicide

"So is that what we were waiting on? Her custom ordered pens??"

Wouldn't that be something.

Maybe we need to start a rumor, eh?
