Collins Says It's Time for Pelosi to Get Over Impeachment
Townhall.com ^ | February 16, 2020 | Bronson Stocking

Speaker Nancy Pelosi can't stop talking about impeachment, which is weird because the president was acquitted earlier this month on the two articles that House Democrats managed to drum up against him. The Speaker wants everyone to believe the president is damaged goods and Trump will now remain "impeached forever." But Doug Collins isn't having it. The Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee told Fox and Friends on Sunday that what Speaker Pelosi keeps saying in interviews simply is "not true," and he encouraged Pelosi to "get over the disaster" that her and her fellow Democrats put the country through.

"I think at this point Mrs. Pelosi needs to take a vacation," Collins began. "She needs to go clear her head. She needs to get over the disaster she put the country through last year. The president was acquitted forever. The president was put on trial in the Senate. Maybe she slept through it. I’m not sure. There was a trial, and the Senate said he did nothing wrong. They acquitted him and put this thing forward. We need to put this nightmare to bed. She needs to quit going on TV and saying 'he is impeached and tarnished forever' because it's not true."

Rep. Collins said the Speaker's "incessant drum beat" about impeachment is only helping the president's re-election efforts, and, as great as that is, encouraged the Speaker to turn her focus instead to the issues that actually matter to the American people.

"The only thing that is true is she is making everything political about about this president and the 2020 election," Collins continued. "This president is going to get reelected and a lot of it has to do with this incessant drum beat from the Speaker over things that went on in the House that were unfair to the president, unfair to the country and unfair to the American people. And we need to continue to focus on what matters to to the American people instead of her personal political agenda."

You’re mixing up Doug Collins with Susan Collins. There is no mention of her.

Loeffler....was appointed for two reasons...she’s a woman and filthy rich. Collins should go for it. There’s a role for Loeffler somewhere in the party. Personally don’t see her as a politician.

I read that the people in the Daytona pits and infield were wearing TRUMP 2020 flags as capes.

Sure you do....after all, who needs another genuine conservative champion in the US Senate, standing up to all the RINOs like Romney, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Richard Burr, Jerry Moran, etc.

After all, President Trump loves being backed up by soooooo many never-Trumpers in the Senate!

We are losing our wonderful language when a person writes,
“..that her and her fellow democrats put the country through”

Correct, would be “that she and her fellow democrats put...”
Come on folks!
That her what? Her tassels on her boobs?
Sorry for that thought...Pelosi and tassels.

“She sure can shred paper.”
What do you get when you cross an Italian with an octopus?
I don’t know but he sure can lay bricks!

The saying around here was that if it wasn’t for the Italians, we wouldn’t have front stoops.

He’s right. She needs to let go of the last one so she can put all of her energy (and her brain cell) to work in starting the next one.

She does have boobs. Being female, that’s a given. Do they have tassels? Inquiring minds would rather not know.

She’s not going to get over it because it’s intent had nothing to do with Trump.. it is about making sure a far lefty gets the nomination and gets crushed so the Dems can moderate for 2024...

It’s all a rope a dope folks.. Her little staged temper tantrum was part and parcel of this as well

Got to get inside their heads, and make them try to prove that they're not so bad. That way they'll become docile and pliable, sort of like RINOs have been, only they'll be called DINOs.



They need to be House broken.

I wish this guy would stay right where he is and not waste his talent as Georgia’s junior member of the most reckless and insufferable group of jackasses you’ll find anywhere.

>Unless I’m reading you wrong, I think you’ve got the wrong “group of jackasses,” its not the senate, its the house that are preeminently the jackasses. It was the senate who aquitted Trump, the house impeached him.

About Doug Collins, I think the lead article’s quotes of what he said are some of the best summarizations of the Dems and their impeachment I’ve read yet. We hate to see him move to the senate (if elected), but who’s to say he won’t be an even better senator? He’s definitely shown to have the “fire in the belly” they need in the senate.

I’d encourage her to go take a walk, but she would probably slip on some of the human feces all over the place.

President Donald J. Trump may be “damaged goods”, but he is 100% salvageable, and will recycle into even better application than he has enjoyed so far.

His reclamation rate is far better than most plastics and metal reclamation programs now in place in this country, and the end result will perform even better that the original configuration. Now Trump has experience in this “President game”, and since learning the nuances of the job, can apply all the expertise he as gained since taking office.

Nancy tearing up papers.

Uh, Nancy. Those were the new Schiff and Nadler Articles of the Second Impeachment. That means you do not approve.
