WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional Democrats on Thursday pivoted away from questions of impeachment by saying they are going to “own” the upcoming August recess on issues like health care and prescription drug costs.
Not emphasized was the testimony a day earlier by former special counsel Robert Mueller, which dulled some Democratic hopes of moving closer to formal impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump. In private, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi advised members of her caucus to talk about impeachment if they must to advance their prospects of winning re-election next year — but not in a way that challenged other members’ views. A majority of Democrats, like most Americans, do not support launching a House indictment against Trump despite Mueller’s statement that he could not “exculpate” Trump on potential obstruction of justice.
“We will own August, make it too hot to handle for the Senate” to ignore Democratic legislative goals to streamline government and lower the cost of health care and prescription drugs, Pelosi said. Other Democrats gathered on the House steps under brilliant sunshine echoed that phrasing in a likely preview of the party’s message during the many town halls they’ve scheduled over the next six weeks.

Own August
ROFL!!
Oh, yeah, the ‘Rats totally own doing nothing in August.
And the big issue is -— “Orange Man Bad!”
How is an Orange Man not a Person of Color?
Surrender Dorothy .
While most are on vacation....
Aren’t they on vacation through August?
In August, no one cares
I’ll be at the beach. See you in September.
Figure it’ll take at least a week to wipe the poop off their face.
Maybe it's time to cast off the Romans and rename the summer months to Clintus and Pelosus, then September and so on?

Democrats advocating streamlining government.
They must be joking.
Perhaps, Nancy can dive into Rep. Cummings’ accounting and determination of which spouse goes under the bus.
That’s a worthy goal for August.
Go preach to your fag freak neighbors bitch
Go preach to your fag freak neighbors bitch
Sure, let’s inject another non-crime, legal term to the mix. I never heard the word “exculpate” used in the last two and a half years, so let’s start now. WTF?
but...
There are reasons why your side only has the Race Card left in your toolbox. You have't been substantive for over a decade. You've lost... in historic fashion... on the #1 campaign issue, the economy. You can't run on foreign policy, since you've been supporting the bad guys and insulting the good guys for over a decade. You can't run on Social issues, since you've already dragged the nation just to the Left of Amsterdam. Your 20 candidates are all in lockstep on the other major issues (abortion, guns, taxes/deficit spending, government-run healthcare, the military, immigration, the environment), and you cannot change your stances now....
So how exactly are you going to "own" August?
