What a difference a year makes. Last spring, Speaker Nancy Pelosi sounded an alarm of caution over a hyper-partisan impeachment. In the fall, she flipped her position to go all-in on an impeachment scenario that would pass the House with bipartisan opposition.
Her gleeful distribution of ceremonial pens heralded the cementing of a historical asterisk next to the presidency of Donald J. Trump. It was the culmination of a three-year spaghetti-throwing operation undertaken by Democrats to weaken the president and the Republican Party, if not overturn the 2016 election.
As the afterglow of her impeachment vote victory fades into history, Pelosi may well be left with an asterisk of her own – an indelible black mark on her career. And her comments over the last several weeks reflect the realization that again, she bet on the wrong strategy and lost.
Comments about the president being “impeached for life” or that he couldn’t possibly be acquitted by the Senate because “You can’t be acquitted if you don’t have a trial…” are telling. They are the empty if not irrational words of someone who probably knows her speakership is now in jeopardy because she failed to manage the radical impulses of her conference. Pelosi embraced a shallow impeachment scheme that rested on dubious legal arguments, hearsay evidence and bipartisan opposition.
Trump’s acquittal in the Senate means an energized Republican Party, reduced credibility for the speaker and a year of Democrat House control wasted on investigations that yielded nothing.
While Pelosi has tied up all her political capital on investigations and impeachment, Trump has continued to advance on a number of key issues, including jobs and the economy. It’s having an impact.

But but Chrissy Wallace said everybody emerged a winner from the impeachment.
The insane half of the country that loved her before the impeachment will continue to love her after the impeachment. They will believe the democrat lie that the republicans cheated, even though every sane person in the country know that it is exactly the other way around.
The only group she “might” lose are the moderates that haven’t quite sold their souls to the devil yet.
Faux has lost its base and just like Jeb, we won’t be coming back.
I wish it would cause a serious investigation that followed all the crimes back to the origin of it all.

Obama is not a natural born citizen.
Nancy lied to get Obama on the ballot.

The only place I hear mention Faux Snooze is FR...
I’m betting she retires. Remember, the house didn’t want her in the first place. Wonder how many of her own she threatened with....no money for you.
But but Chrissy Wallace said everybody emerged a winner from the impeachment.
+++++
That’s true. He did say that. But the Chrissy Wallace to English translation using the algorithm that I developed just for cases like this is more meaningful.
Reading the yellow punched tape, I see the following translation:
“As usual, there was only one winner: Donald Trump.”
“............even though every sane person in the country know that it is exactly the other way around.”
You hit the nail square on the head with that as the Democrat party is the party of the insane. It’s long past time to quit pitying them, tolerating them, and just kick their butts every time they play their childish games consuming barrels of taxpayer time, and dollars as they screw up our kids heads, and our lives with their insane perspectives.
I’m going to guess that if the Dems lose the House, she’s going to retire immediately, rather than spend another two years there with no power.
Poor Miss Lube Rack
Yep. Pecker puss Pelosi will hang up her broom with Donald Trump in the White House and Republican majorities in the senate and house. She will be the designated scapegoat. Victory has a thousand fathers but defeat is an orphan.
“Pelosi’s Impeachment Gamble Fails – Here’s What Going All In Could Cost Her And The Democrats”
The problem with the headline is it implies that Pelosi actually believed there was a chance Trump would be removed.
I don’t think she is that delusional. On the other hand there is a pretty good chance Schiff lied to her and exaggerated what they had. If he convinced her the BS transcript he read was real that might explain it and once it got rolling she had no choice but to milk it for all it was worth.
There will be a blood bath for all Dem House leadership positions as the minority party. The squad will lose some committee assignments if they get re-elected themselves. I could see 2 of them losing in November.
I would love to see Schiff lose his position on the intel committee. That would be just reward for the impeachment hoax.
She’s gotten very robotic looking. I think she is ill.
Someone put VIAGRA in Romney's chocolate milk?
Nancy and her family have committed crimes.
The Clintons committed crimes.
Joe Biden and his son committed crimes.
They aren’t in prison.
So far, they have won by staying out of prison.
The Republicans need to Nationalize this election like Newt Gingrich did, personally I think rallying around the idea of EXPELLING From Congress Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler,...if given a substantial majority, would bring out just about everyone on the fence
