All that, and she’s never been a great public speaker to begin with, so this isn’t that much of an outlier. But yeah, even under the best-case scenario, this will likely end up losing the Dems seats in the House (which Pelosi definitely knows), and she’ll be the one who has to answer for it—and if it loses the House…
For him, it actually is. We’ll see what he’s tweeting at 3am
I agree that they will be committing political suicide of a sort. Not with the Republicans by a long shot, but with the chronic bench sitters who can’t be bothered to vote regularly
Sidebar: Naveen Andrews is gorgeous!
Honestly, even IF it works out, an impeachment doesn’t barr someone from being elected president. If god really hates us, Trump will be impeached, removed from office, then get voted back into office in November anyways. Nevermind that Pence might just issue a blanket pardon to Trump so none of the shit he’s…
Best case scenario - Trump gets removed from the WH and the presidency
Pelosi knows that this can’t end well. Trump is a rich white Republican and over the last 40 years, the American justice system has been carefully crafted to ensure that men like him do not suffer consequences for their actions. This has literally been Mitch McConnell’s life’s work.
Stick with Ukraine. Do NOT throw a bunch of other stuff at him. This one thing is so criminal and so simple it doesn’t need anything else. It’s the one thing that even republicans will have trouble defending and it’s easy for even the dumbest person to understand. Throwing anything else in will only provide material…
Re: your “best case scenario”: I’m not worried about Pence being elected if Trump is impeached. That creepy semi-melted white chocolate figure of Voldemort has the charisma of a wet paper bag, and his biggest accomplishment is causing Indiana as a whole to hate him.
The proceedings in Congress likely become moot (as that term is currently understood) once a new president is sworn in. The only thing impeachment/conviction does is remove a president from office. No other criminal penalties are associated with it.
It would just end, I’d imagine, but the State of New York has probably already called dibs on nailing his ass to the wall the moment he’s out of office.
“Congressional committees already investigating Trump also hope the impeachment process will grant them expedited access to documents, witnesses, and legal processes that the administration has been successfully stonewalling.”
“He will have the choose whether to break the law or honor his responsibility to the constitution.”
A big thanks to the Whistleblower.
Hmmmm. I wonder what the dynamics are. Did she not want him to run? Does she not want to be Second Lady? Is their marriage loveless?
Color me NOT SURPRISED that coddled, spoiled White men who have done nothing of note in their lives are actively threatened by a teenager who not only gives a damn about her world but speaks up about it.
Laura Ingraham compared her to Stephen King’s Children of the Corn
...you still have hope that they’re going to leave the White House? I imagine we’re going to have to board up the windows and move the nation’s capitol.
She’s got no reach. People other than I held out hope she could have a moderating effect on her dad. There was no evidence she ever has and is anything but her fathers daughter. The suburban white women I know thinks she’s a sham. Her valid pr will no doubt fail. Yes, she’s the golden child but it’s because she’s…
