Things to think about

This item confirms Impeachment of Trump is on an indefinite hold and may never become official.  Democrats are trying their best to dictate terms the Senate will follow if ever they send their impeachment package to the Senate.  Mitch McConnell has put the kibosh on anything they try to dictate.  This item explains.  Quote: "Putting aside the grave injustice of what Pelosi is trying to achieve, there is a personal dimension at play here as well. A fight over power. And Pelosi craves power, above all. Although it’s nowhere near the size of Pelosi’s, McConnell certainly has an ego. He won’t allow himself to be humiliated on the world stage. And the world is watching."   https://www.redstate.com/elizabeth-vaughn/2019/12/21/mitch-mcconnell-im-not-sure-leverage-refraining-sending-us-something-not-want/?   The grossly irresponsible and unethical Democrats know they have no chance to win in the Senate if they cannot dictate the terms for a trial and what the outcome will be.  Apparently their fake impeachment may just become a footnote in history if it is never made official by transmission to the Senate for a trial.

The several paragraphs that follow paragraphs provide insight.

A huge percentage of the American public will likely agree with the sentiments expressed by the New York Post. Quote: "The New York Post is not at all shy about letting their feelings about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her impeachment efforts against President Trump be fully known, going so far as to label her a “swamp mistress” on the front page of their newspaper. The publication made it clear in no uncertain terms that Democrats would ultimately regret pursuing this course of action against Trump, noting that it would backfire on them during the 2020 election. The tabloid put the news of President Trump’s impeachment along the top of the front page before declaring “Swamp mistress Pelosi dresses in black for historic vote,” with the message, “It’s your funeral.” The “swamp mistress” moniker accompanies an opinion piece by Michael Goodwin that labels Trump’s impeachment a “stomach-turning charade” that “damages America.” “It is said there are two things you should never watch being made: sausage and government budgets,” Goodwin wrote. “Now we can add impeachment to the list of stomach-turning sights to avoid.”     https://centurylink.net/news/read/category/news/article/the_associated_press-trump_takes_swipe_at_late_michigan_lawmaker_upsett-ap

This item written by Mark Levin, a lawyer, prolific best selling author, radio and TV personality makes this observation about how Nancy Pelosi is handling the Impeachment of President Trump.  He takes her apart and says what she is now doing is yet another violation of the Constitution.  https://flagandcross.com/schiff-goes-on-msnbc-suggests-dems-will-set-sights-on-pence-after-trump-impeached/   More on this in the next item.

This item sums up Nancy and the Democrat's dilemma from their embarrassingly weak impeachment debacle.   https://www.leagueofpower.com/meanwhile-obamacare-just-got-shivved-in-the-laundry-room/   This item illustrated the point so very well.   https://www.americanlibertyreport.com/articles/reporter-asks-nancy-pelosi-why-bribery-charges-were-not-included-in-impeachment-articles-she-stumbles-in-her-response/    It is impossible to believe anything that comes out of this demented woman's mouth. The same goes for way too many of her likewise demented Democrat colleagues.    https://www.theblaze.com/news/58-percent-democrats-supported-impeachment-2017?  Not only is she demented she is a typical dishonest hyper partisan and vengeful politician void of a shred of ethics like so many of her colleagues and media left wing hawkers of endless lies.  She gets put in her place making a hate filled remark by no less a politically supportive lawyer no less.  Among those in politics worthy of impeachment she would be at the top of the list.   https://www.bizpacreview.com/2019/12/20/pelosi-ins-ists-partisan-gavel-banging-means-trumps-impeached-forever-dem-lawyer-bursts-her-bubble-866638? 

This is an interesting piece speculating about what Nancy may be thinking. Given the devious politician she is it would not surprise me if this may be her motive for withholding delivery of impeachment papers to the Senate.  https://pjmedia.com/trending/two-reasons-pelosi-will-probably-delay-impeachment-until-after-the-election/?   Either one of the notions are likely long shots at best.  Here is another analysis of Nancy HUGE screw up.  Quote: "For a Party that did a lot of self-serving chest-pounding and back-slapping for their alleged devotion to the Constitution, the idea of blocking the all-important trial is the height of hypocrisy. We only need to recall how House Democrats claimed exclusive rights to conduct the impeachment by any rules they desired.  They wanted no advice from Republicans.  Nor did they see any reason to involve the Supreme Court to resolve issues.  Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal — in a complete disregard for the separation of powers and co-equal branches – stated flat out that “we [members of the House] are not accountable to the courts.” Suddenly, the Pelosi Democrats believe that THEY are entitled to dictate the Senate rules governing the requisite trial.  If they do not get their way, presumably they will not deliver the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate – preventing a trial. The very suggestion would be further evidence that the House Democrats are well aware that their impeachment lacks gravitas.  It is too weak – too political – to avoid an appropriate rejection by every Republican member of the Senate."    http://punchingbagpost.com/2019/12/21/horist-pelosi-may-refuse-to-deliver-on-impeachment/?

This item shows exactly what Nancy accomplished. It is bad for her party but good for most American citizens.   https://townhall.com/columnists/johnpence/2019/12/20/the-party-of-lincoln-is-uniting-as-pelosis-house-is-dividing-n2558360?

Democrats were dumb enough to impeach Trump but seemingly now are not smart enough to know what to do next.  Thinking ahead is not their strong suit.  One has to ask whether this is the real reason or an excuse for doing something because they want to avoid demonstrating how ignorant they are or they already know the outcome and want to avoid being the laughing stock that they are, or both. Quote: "The future of the House’s impeachment case against President Trump hung in doubt on Thursday, after the third-ranking House Democrat raised the possibility that the chamber could permanently withhold the articles from the Senate if it did not get assurances of a fair trial. The morning after the House impeached Mr. Trump nearly along party lines, Representative James E. Clyburn, Democrat of South Carolina, said he was willing to wait “as long as it takes” to transmit the two impeachment articles approved Wednesday night. The House charged Mr. Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress related to his campaign to pressure Ukraine to smear Democratic rivals."   Despite all the evidence that no pressure was applied to the Ukraine leadership and that executive privilege permits the president to deny House of Representative subpoenas due to constitutional separation of powers rules, they used those two basic reasons to impeach.  Is that extremely poor judgment or not? Here is a discussion about the pickle in which Nancy finds herself.    https://www.newsmax.com/headline/trump-Himpeachment-delay-senate/2019/12/19/id/946668/?     This is the Senate Majority Leader's reaction to Nancy's self created dilemma.     https://www.redstate.com/bonchie/2019/12/19/cocaine-mitch-calls-pelosis-bluff-withholding-articles-impeachment/?   Here is a short 2 minute video of a portion of his remarks.     https://www.redstate.com/bonchie/2019/12/19/cocaine-mitch-calls-pelosis-bluff-withholding-articles-impeachment/?

Nancy really is in a pickle.  This item provides insight to the really bad place she has brought upon herself and the Democrat party and has embarrassed our country on a global stage.  Quote: " Senate Can Acquit Even If House Withholds Articles of Impeachment."    https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/12/18/pollak-senate-can-acquit-even-if-house-doesnt-transmit-articles-of-impeachment-constitution/    The fact is she is falling apart right before our eyes. Quote: "WATCH: Nancy Pelosi falsely claims—without evidence—that impeachment received bipartisan support. The TRUTH is that the only bipartisan support was AGAINST impeachment. Some Democrats VOTED WITH Republicans! This was the first totally partisan impeachment in American history!"    pic.twitter.com/P7Tz6ZS7hT 

This item illustrates just how much damage Nancy, Schiff, Nadler and now Schumer have inflicted on their party simply because they hate Donald Trump and refuse to admit the good he has single handedly done for the American people despite all their efforts to obstruct anything he does.   https://www.freedomnewsreport.com/2019/12/19/democrats-are-leaving-the-party-over-impeachment/

This piece does as good job of wrapping up the impeachment debacle and suggests that the Democrats party is so discombobulated that things will only get worse when they return from recess. Quote: "As I said within an hour of Pelosi’s announcement that she wasn’t sending the articles to the Senate, “The impeachment process does not end until the House sends the articles to the Senate for a trial. Technically, the President is not impeached, the House just passed articles of impeachment. They have to take the final step. Unless this is all political BS.” (I even did a whole podcast on the subject that night). It has since been parroted by people with much bigger megaphones than I have, and much more impressive degrees and jobs. Many of whom are liberals. If even I can see this, and see it first, how did the Democrats miss it? Rage does blind, but so does fear, both of which seem to be fueling the Democratic Party exclusively these days. Half their party is angry: angry at the president, angry at his voters, angry that they don’t get their way, angry when they do get their way and if fails, they’re just pissed off in general that the people might reelect Donald Trump. The other half is scared to death: scared the angry mob they created to go after Republicans and other heretics might turn on them, scared they’ll say something to set it off, scared the public at large will listen to their candidates during the primary season and realize just how far left the Democratic Party has gone. This combination of anger and fear are the ingredients of stupid. The Democratic Party has become crippled by both, paralyzed trying to fend off all the things they’ve created. So far, this paralysis has been a good thing. Democrats haven’t been able to get much of anything else done, which means they haven’t been able to screw anything else up. But it’s not for lack of trying. As the panic sets in deeper, and more polls roll in over the Christmas recess, it’s important to remember that Democrats won’t do the sane thing, no matter how bad it gets for them, and fold. This combination of anger and fear are the ingredients of stupid. The Democratic Party has become crippled by both, paralyzed trying to fend off all the things they’ve created. So far, this paralysis has been a good thing. Democrats haven’t been able to get much of anything else done, which means they haven’t been able to screw anything else up. But it’s not for lack of trying."  And,  "If you thought they were crazy before, you ain’t seen nothing yet. It may seem like we’re approaching the end of this left-wing craziness, but the era of stupid has just begun."    https://townhall.com/columnists/derekhunter/2019/12/22/in-the-era-of-stupid-n2558391?
