With what’s coming in the next 3-6 months, there is no next time.
Essentially, this is a full “who’s in/who’s out” global socialist removal of America’s election system and representative government.
At best, there will only be “Soviet style” show votes going forward. And these will be for fake happy theater.
That’s encouraging to know.
There is a provision--under regular procedures and timelines--that future office can be denied with a conviction. That's all Nancy is after with this bullshit. However....
....one procedural step would require unanimous senate consent both (as I understand it) to 1) proceed immediately on Jan. 19 and 2) to convict before Slo-Joe is inaugurated the next day.
So, dream on, Nancy, you vindictive bitch. A unanimous senate vote ain't happening.
Before its over, she'll wish she hadn't poked the nest. Look for incriminating docs to be declassified before inauguration.
... ever vote again, good point.
After a few months of Biden, the sour grapes will be gone. I think it will become obvious that we elected a man who on his best day wasn’t qualified to clean a latrine.
>> Couldn’t Mitch have simply done...
Have you not read any of Zhang Fei’s 25 messages? lol
Are you sure that’s new?
This article from The Hill is another example of the danger of commenting from the headline. The article read in depth and other reports on the subject show the the Turtle is showing Nancy how futile her ranting desires are in reality.
I’m no fan of the Republican old guard but we have to quit posting this stuff without some critical analysis or we are letting these blogger editors spin us and whip-saw us.
How do I get a job like that? At least they aren't spending any more of our money I guess.

Yup—I want a Republican Senator whose “procedure” memo would have read:
“Go f&^% yourself, Nanzi.”
He wasn’t elected.
I think most of those 75 million can come together in agreement on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights - as originally written, and plain as day to anyone with even rudimentary reading skills.
You seem to be arguing that we can only survive as TRUE conservatives if we remain true to the Republican party.
I’ve never been a member of that or any ‘party’. And I don’t care what happens to any established party. We’ve had ‘parties’ before that have died out, with new ones created.
I care about what happens to my Country, and whether or not it abandons the genius of the Founders as exemplified in our founding documents.
I haven’t seen that many of your ‘Republicans’ have been terribly concerned with preserving those ideals and principles. Too many of them have been all too ready to always play both ends against the middle.
So COVID19, the economy and the wellbeing of all Americans takes second place to a staged, hypocritical and ceremonial temper tantrum by the Democrats??? I don’t think we have seen the depths these shameless people can sink to yet. May Almighty God lay bare their evil hearts for the whole world to glare at and may they NEVER hold public office for the rest of their miserable lives.
“the country would be ungovernable”
It may already be ungovernable. I don’t know if they can actually govern when so many people know the President, Speaker and Majority Leader are all in their positions due to obvious, in your face fraud.
IIRC, there have been rumors floating around for quite a while about something wonky during his military service, resulting in him being discharged. Dunno.
Peking Mitch McConnell and his wife’s Chinese Shipling Company.
If Trump has any aces left,now is the time to play them.
[The vote to certify the rigged election that disenfranchised 75 million voters in the GOP Senate was 93-7. They are most certainly not in our coalition. Your GOP bootlicking posts are little more than buffoonery at this point. Only a few GOP hobbyists are buying what you are selling at this point.]
Re boot-licking - the way the game is played is no one has to lick anyone’s boots. That was during the age of kings, when not licking the king’s boots meant a one way ticket to the headsman. That did not mean courtiers did not have their own interests - boot-licking was a formality conducted at swordpoint until they got the opportunity to take the king’s head*.
What isn’t always understood is that the political process is inherently compromise-laden. There’s a bunch of pushing and shoving before we arrive at an outcome no one is completely satisfied with.
There is one surefire way to get everyone we want. It is to take power and put everyone who opposes us in the ground. I don’t see us having that capability today. So we stumble forward with our messy coalitions, go on several term third party benders during which we are humiliated electorally, before we end up back in the same old coalitions.
I expect we will see people try to break out of established patterns. But eventually, we will end up in the same place, with the Dems having put into effect laws that permanently set conservatives back. I am just hoping to skip the wasted years.

[During the final century of Merovingian rule, the kings were increasingly pushed into a ceremonial role. Actual power was increasingly in the hands of the mayor of the palace, the highest-ranking official under the king. In 656, the mayor Grimoald I tried to place his son Childebert on the throne in Austrasia. Grimoald was arrested and executed, but his son ruled until 662, when the Merovingian dynasty was restored. When King Theuderic IV died in 737, the mayor Charles Martel continued to rule the kingdoms without a king until his death in 741. The dynasty was restored again in 743, but in 751 Charles’s son, Pepin the Short, deposed the last king, Childeric III, and had himself crowned, inaugurating the Carolingian dynasty. ]
