Speaker Nancy Pelosi, only a few months ago, was the Anointed One.....
praised by the MSM as a "strategic genius" for her role in orchestrating impeachment;
Pelosi was declared a political winner by "credible sources"....people like news network reporters.

Impeachment Commandante Nancy Pelosi was salivating over removing Trump .... she desperately wanted to take his place.

She even tasked the wily Schiff to get dirt on Pence to shove him aside on her determined march to the Oval Office.

Ever the exhibitionist, Pelosi stupidly held a gleeful impeachment signing ceremony-—handing out pens like she was already in office. That alone, will go down in history as her biggest blunder.

As a paradigm Democrat imbecile, Pelosi’s impeachment scam stupidly wrote open-ended articles of impeachment, that they hoped would compel Senate Republicans to investigate for them. Dems musta got that inane idea from Sharia law as practiced in ****hole Muslim countries.

DUMBO DEMOCRATS STILL USING THE FAILED “KAVANAUGH MODEL.” As the trial commenced, Democrats began dropping what they said was one “bombshell” after another — the same strategy deployed during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings — to drag out the spectacle and maximize the political damage.

Like Hillary calling Trump voters “deplorable,” Pelosi acted like no one was listening. She pulled out the cockamamie “urgency to save the democracy ruse,” sat on the articles for weeks, then started dictating to the Senate.

Once again, her presidency paranoia took hold...... she had (A) zero standing to dictate the Senate trial terms, (B) no constitutional rights over the Senate, and, (C) not a scintilla of political leverage.

Stupid is as stupid does. She didnt see that coming. That she’d get nothing from Mitch McConnell for her trouble.

He’s like a number of FReepers who criticize Trump the instant he does something differently than how they would have him do it. Fortunately Trump knows best.

This isn’t over.

Articles Of Impeachment (Packet#2) will hit the Senate in 3 to 6 Months.

I predict.

I’ve heard several times about how many senators “privately loathe the President”. That’s what worried me about the acquittal vote - that they’d use any excuse to get rid of him.

I think those rallies/approval ratings saved POTUS - and maybe that’s why he did the rallies. I’ve never seen such a hard working POTUS and he refuses to lose.

Just grateful that I had the opportunity to vote for him and watch him work his magic.

Democrats made the same mistake Labour made about opinion on Twitter: they thought it represented majority opinion,

Oops!

No. The public is exhausted.

Unless Democrats are going to do a Rodino impeachment, it will go nowhere.

What’s the point of another failed impeachment?

it is amazing how much the mainstream American press, from news networks to newspapers, was willing to parrot the Democrats' talking point on witnesses.

LOL! "Amazing" to whom? To anyone who's had two synapses firing for the past 20 years, it was pretty much same old same old.

-- Sleepy Joe won't be in the race much longer. --

Biden is incoherent. He was never viable. His race was a figment propped up by the press.

Tucker Carlson made a point of this "way back when," July 19. Biden's campaign is deader than disco

Maybe. But in 6 months we’ll be close to the election and I suspect the Democrats are going to realize that their stunts have cost them the House and they will be in full panic mode and not know which way to turn.

They will be meaner and more insane than they are now.

We now know the Department of Homeland Security offered to help vet the app's security, and the Democrats refused.

Interesting. I wonder, do the 'rats not want an independent assessment and review of the app because there is something in there they don't want found? Is there a known back door, means of tipping the scales, or possibly just having it report the results you want? Is this app slated to be used in other primaries or caucuses etc? This behavior and the results produced by the app should be setting off alarm bells in every fair-minded 'rat, if there are any.

Oh, yes! I agree with that 100%.

They will be far more dangerous than the average cornered rat.

True.

However, I believe that Leader McConnell already informed the Democrats what's going to happen next time, in the speech he gave the morning after Granny Wine Box rammed the phony "farticles of crapeachment" through.

Overplayed their hand? They overplayed all the way up to the shoulder! Hail Marys of Hail Marys. Running flea flickers from their own 2-yard-line desperate.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of Satan’s demons.

“Didn’t she refer to herself as a “master legislator”?”

Well, my take is she tries to trick people into going along with her. So for 2 years she said she was not interested in doing impeachment. This lured all the Trump haters into wanting it more and more. So, she finally gave in by luring them in and agreeing to do an impeachment.

So, I would say she is a “master baiter”.

A suitable leader for her party.

The blind leading the blind, as it were.

“Her legacy will be a failed impeachment and tearing up the SOU address.”
The ripped SOU should be placed where these types of items are viewed by the public. A little footnote indicating, done by Crazy Nancy.

Joe was just the place holder until the democrats could figure out their best pathway for putting together a coalition to beat the president.

Also they intend to run Hillary and she did not want to get in until she sees what’s happening.
