Mitch is a joke and he's scrambling to save face.

Here is the bottom line..the pos will FOREVER be IMPEACHED..FOREVER>>>

And keep adding others crimes he and others,including republicans, up to the election, and when he loses his job from another drubbing from voters his tune will be much different.

Let him carry that stain onto november elections.

..Dema use as talking point from now until we boot the guy out in 2020.

Time for Romney to start performing his "honorable Republican" routine.

Such an asshole you have representing you, Kentucky. WTFU.

hang over his head without "exoneration" (cough, cough, lol).

This is where we'll stay for a while; an impasse. McConnell is the living embodiment of an impasse.

They don't want him to pee all over the cereal aisle, so they have to give him what he wants.

at Fearless Leader day and night and he will begin to make McTurtle's life miserable, demanding that he "move the trial along, etc. etc", only to be told that it's not in McTurtle's power to do so. I could even envision him going after Mitch for this. I'd pay to see that.

There may be a delay.

Mitch made the mistake of saying the trial would come first Nancywats some of the is the House passed finished in the Senate

The House did what it had to do under bizarrely difficult circumstances, but we saw a mild uptick in support for impeachment before it flatlined and retraced a bit.

They need to get it off the plate, and frankly WAY to easy to give the Rs the frame they are throwing around on it right now.

McConnell is going to be a douchebag about it nothing to be done.

... of the articles.

Just forget the Senate farce that will lead him to claim "exoneration"; leave it at IMPEACHED forever.

he IS worried about what Pelosi is doing.

This is already the second tact McConnell has taken just today, less than 24 hours out from the impeachment vote.

He gets to avoid doing something he doesn't want to do. Shame is no factor.

and the Senate is exposed for the scam trial it would have been.

Personally, I think we should make the Senate Repubs actually vote to acquit so they can't claim later, when even more and more comes clear that Trump did, that they NEVER would have left him in office. But Pelosi always seems to know what she's doing.

I have no idea why so many are convinced that McConnell is chomping at the bit to have a trial.

When this idea was floated I didn't understand why McConnell would care. I still don't and actually think it helps (R)s foment rage with thier supports and fatigue among everyone else as an Impeachment trial inches closer and close to the 20' election.

he'll declare trump acquitted, and therefore a king.

If she slow walks it over, it will eat away at trump and he will get even crazier every day. I'd buy some popcorn for that.

and trolling the Pubs? IMO, not a good look. ...long term.

Instead of sending our proverbial sheep of impeachment to the wolves.

Doesn't sound like "DEMANDING INTEGRITY" to me.

With witnesses and evidence.

McConnell is admitting in a roundabout way that he won't do that. That will create rage in the Democratic base (as if we needed more).

"it will eat away at trump and he will get even crazier every day" doesn't sound like asking for a fair trial.

Oh, and GL tonight v. the Bucks.

Yer gonna need it.

It absolutely will eat away at him though. Good, fuck him.

and Trump will put pressure on McConnell to hold a trial- at least that's one theory.

We may have more hearings adding to the evidence for Articles 1 & 2 and possibly other articles. There's also the on going investigation into Rudy and his associates. A quick trial with a very likely acquittal now puts this into the history books. Leaving it open keeps it in the news.

What Pelosi did was to hang this impeachment on Mitch's doorstep like a dead opossum. The longer Mitch resists allowing a fair process to try the impeachment, the worse the stench will get.

And then all Pelosi and the House Dems have to do is keep investigating. They can always add more articles of impeachment...

the whole reason for the Obstruction of Congress article. We should hear from these witnesses.

If they don't rule on it, the lower court's decision stands.

To side with an independent Judiciary is to side with the Dems...to do otherwise is to forever submit to the authority of the Executive.

The longer the Senate is prevented from starting its trial, the wilder Trump will be to get it started. He will start pressuring McConnell to make a deal - any deal - with Schumer to get it done.

After 3 years of watching Trump, we know how he operates.

We have no effs left to give as far as you swamp creatures go.

Might be fine with him...just watch MF45 unravel!

and never acquitted.

That'll a helluva thing for the history books.

And on Moscow Mitch's watch, too. What a shitty job he's doing as Senate Majority Leader, can't even get his President off...cough, cough.

...like Nixon did during Watergate when it was the darkest hours of the night...

MAKES ME FUCKING SMILE MY BUTT OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if the articles are not sent to the Senate. Many of his base and others would buy that. Repubs could go with that.

The Senate just never held an actual trial.

Trump wants his Senate acquittal now.

impeachment and how they are being handled in the House of Representatives. Nancy does.

McConnell and Trump want this over with before Super Tuesday. On that day, the GOPer senators are free to vote against Trump, as it will be too late to run in Repuke challengers.

All about timing. Primaries and Caucus's. Moscow Mitch is counting on having a few months of PR in his favor before Elections . April and beyond is Sales Season for the Politicians. And Prime time is August till November the ninety days of mega buys.

STFU Mitch, get real.

I hope you get an ulcer over your holiday, you fucking traitor.

and signed by Trump, too.

currently cluttering Moscow Mitch's desk.

That ignoring of the Senate rules equals acquittal by inaction...no different than a sham trial.

House needs to continue investigations and vote up more articles to increase the pressure.

now no trial or witnesses.

first there was a Biden conspiracy of corruption

now they don't want to hear from Rudy or anyone else.

LOL.

and most likely having to plead the 5th

works for us

...and McConnell will be wearing it.

Believe nothing that comes out of his mouth

actually I think Moskow's Mitch would very much like Nancy Pelosi to take the Trump stone from his shoe.

I think he's trying reverse phychology.

Guess what ... it won't work.

He’s pissed. Bigly.

We need more Moscow Mitch billboards in Kentucky.
