Rules are for deplorables.

Royalty like Pelosi have no need for them!

The RATs will NOT hold a vote and this is nothing more than an ongoing Coup attempt.

What I fail to understand is why and how those individuals who have plotted and are carrying out this subversive activity are still being allowed to suck air.

The House will vote as soon as Romney has 20 votes in the Senate.

The “trial” will last five minutes.

Military commanders will obey Pence, or they won’t

Interesting times.

This is why the Republicans should demand to hold an immediate floor vote. If they don’t hold it, then they should boycott the impeachment “inquiries” and hold separate, concurrent press conferences and state why they aren’t at the committee “hearings.”

The thrust of the House's action here is their obsessive determination to substitute THEIR flawed
judgement for the EXPRESS WILL OF 63 MILLION AMERICANS WHO ELECTED TRUMP.

Career politicians don't want to actually vote; they just want to talk. And then 20 years later they get surprised when some 29-year-old bartender wins the primary.

Time to help the democrats get through this new ordeal; send them all some fresh batteries and a case of K-Y Jelly. Seems to have helped Dirty Bob Mueller get through his time on stage.

Yes, but are the Republicans going to do about it?

Actually they will vote if Romney can get enough Rino’s to cause a majority to convict. If Trump received a majority of Senate votes to convict but short of the 2/3 it would hurt his re-elect chances bad. I think that is the GOPe fantasy here. Cause Trump to decide he cannot win and withdraw allowing an approved candidate to step in. Problem for them is Trump does not quit.

Stunt is a poor choice of words. Stunt implies a comedic action

A better choice would be gambit as in a move that is part of a chess strategy.

In the current was, rather than stunt, the impeachment assault would be more appropriate.

The Democrat problem is that their gambit and assult are both losing and certainly lack any comedic intent.

What’s the recourse that the Executive can take to shut down the kangaroo court being conducted by the Democrats and the MSM?

Can Nancy be sued? This is an unfair process. The House should have to vote first for an impeachment inquiry.

Because the Dept of Injustice is corrupt. So is the Federal Bureau of Injustice. And Bagpipe Barr refuses to act.

So far all the dems have proven is they can spew a lot of hot air with no substance to back up their lies.

In other words just another Tuesday.

Dems; a one-trick donkey.
