If the Articles never go to the Senate then was the President really impeached?

    I don't know why so many people give you sh*t here Tft. Although you do throw in the occasional jab-type remark with a strong right-leaning bent, other than that... your assessment of things as they stand in reality is usually spot on.

    So that said.. is B1 right? It sounds like it might be the case. Nancy is shrewd. But since the Pub's control the Senate, if Ruthie taps out in the next few months and the so called nuclear option remains in effect... why would what B1 said be the case? You can answer that too B1. It shouldn't matter right?

  2. I would agree with B1, in the sense that she is trying to eviscerate Trump generically - for a wide spectrum of reasons- Supreme Court nominations being one- but I dont necessarily place that above wanting to weaken him just related to the 2020 elections. She hates him and wants to disable him for so many reasons, I would need a software program to track them all. But yeh, Supreme court nominations is a big one for everyone, Trump and all the Dems escpecially. And then there is DACA and....and....and.... She just needs to wound him as much as she can.

    But agreeing with B1 about Pelosi wanting to try to render him powerless on Senate appointments doesnt mean I think that Pelosi has any power to do that coming from this impeachment thing. That's just what she wants. Similarly, she may want the Senate to try Trump by her rules. Okay, thanks for sharing Nancy. What cards are you holding?

    One of the things that the dems are up against on Supreme Court appointments, is that judges are Mitch's legacy so the dems have a very hard time doing divide-and-conquer with Trump and Mitch. They work pretty close there. Ruthie steps down or whatever and Mitch is going to try to fill that ASAP even if it is in a lame duck period.

    But is Pelosi trying to damage his authority and standing in an important area like that. You betcha. Dems need to watch their arse though. The dems are convinced that that whole Kanvanaugh episode was winner for them just because it got all those DC politicians some good publicity for their failed presidential campaigns. Personally, I think the last thing they would want to do is to run a shit-show like that right before an election. The electorate is not made up of just conservatives and ultra-lefties. Lots of regular moderate and normal people did not like what was done to kavanaugh at all. Ruthie probably gonna make it to the election anyway. At least her chances are better than a couple of the dem candidates (okay, was that necessary on my part?).

    She rammed Obamacare through without a single republican vote, we all know that was a huge mistake. The democrats actually tried to blame the republican for Obamacare.

    She rammed impeachment through without republican support. If Trump is re-elected then her career will officially be over.

  4. The irony is that she is out there working full-time for the Committee to Re-Elect Donald J. Trump.


    Keep it up tards. If you want Trump to be re-elected, you are doing all the right things.


    :cool:

    Are you into your "trading whiskey" again? What is that anyway? I don't drink myself, at least not at my desk. Looks a bit like tequila?

  10. You guys are over thinking this..the articles were voted on right before the holidays. No need to rush them over to sit there during Hanukah when no one is going to be in town.

    Will bet that those articles magically show up just before the State of the Union for nice effect. Both sides are just playing games.
