Biden isn’t going to like this much. Some of the most tribal left insist what Biden did as vice president in Ukraine isn’t a story because The Washington Post told them so. But it is most definitely a story. It rips the scab off Joe.
For all the breathlessness over Pelosi’s actions, I hope you know that what politicians say — even when wearing makeup on TV and surrounded by American flags — isn’t the whole story. What they don’t say is important too.
And what Pelosi didn’t say was that she’d have the full House vote on the matter.
She doesn’t want her Democratic members having to stand and declare whether they want to proceed or not — especially those Democrats who won in 2018 in pro-Trump Republican districts.
So, what’s really changed, if anything? It looks like Pelosi was tired of trying to withstand the anger of leftist Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who’s been tweaking Pelosi for not going after Trump earlier. Now Pelosi gets AOC off her back, at least for a time, and protects her Democrats who won election from Republican districts, for a time.
But eventually, they might all have to declare, which isn’t easy. Standing on principle with their fingers moistened in the wind can be a complicated dance move.
What was interesting is that Pelosi as chief Democrat — from a party that’s long viewed the Constitution as some bendable, living document ready to be shaped to fit political need — would reach back in time to Benjamin Franklin and the Constitutional Convention.
The new Americans were waiting in Philadelphia and asked Franklin whether we’d have a monarchy or a republic.
“A republic,” Pelosi reminded us of Franklin’s response. “If you can keep it.”
When the politicians speak, the donkeys break wind.

Bigly.
Pelosi and the Democrats are just trying to play both sides of the street while keeping the pot boiling to inflame hatred against the President and to distract the public away from their corrupt and criminal actions in an attempt to avoid accountability for what they have done
Perhaps the dims just want this as an issue to hammer away at Trump with no real desire to impeach.
The Senate would have to have a 2/3 vote in favor of impeachment to remove Trump. I don't see that happening unless there was some form of overwhelming evidence which at this point the dims do not appear to have.
Trump seems to enjoy these types of battles.
I hope he's in for the long haul.
I thought the house already voted on impeachment several weeks ago, and the motion went down in flames. It seems that story has been buried as if the vote never happened.
I suppose the propaganda media must bury any facts that don't fit the narrative, in order to keep momentum going for Socialist dictatorship. Trump is dangerous because he is undoing decades of (soviet inspired and directed) progress towards eliminating freedom and prosperity.
Impeachment will mean certain victory for Republicans in the House in 2020.
I love the smell of desperation in the morning.
The ‘Rats’ internal polling must be terrifying...
Bwah hah hah hah hah!!!
“A publicity stunt that is likely to backfire.”
Yes. Here’s the way I see it now.
Trump made his conversation with Ukraine’s president the hottest item in the news. Now he releases the transcript. Millions will read it or listen to summaries. In the call he mentions the Biden-and-son hanky panky. Now the hanky panky is brought before the eyes of millions. Mission accomplished.
Seriously, Biden behaved very inappropriately as vice president. At the very least his behavior needs to be exposed now that he’s running for president.
A commentary like this in the Chicago Trib is worth 100 in Breitbart.
It is the scenario. Pelosi does a thing to make her retarded caucus less retarded. She actually thinks this will work. That is how retarded Pelosi is. These rabid libtards will only be further emboldened and just about eliminate the chance Pelosi has to regain control. You watch. The libtards will be even more cringeworthy today, not less.
More?
Still More ComDem Insanity!
A good column worth reading.
