Pelosi hands out souvenir pens, Dems slammed for gloating as House delivers Trump impeachment articles
Fox News ^ | January 16 2020 | Danielle Wallace

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi drew criticism Wednesday for handing out commemorative pens -- with her name on them -- after signing a resolution to transmit two articles of impeachment against President Trump to the Senate for trial.

To critics, the tone of the event seemed celebratory -- a far cry from December, when Pelosi wore black and insisted on the House floor it was a “solemn” day before the Democrat-controlled body voted to impeach the president on abuse of power and obstruction of Congress allegations. Later, she even cut short two rounds of cheers from Democrats when the articles were adopted.

“Nancy Pelosi’s souvenir pens served up on silver platters to sign the sham articles of impeachment,” White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham tweeted in response. “She was so somber as she gave them away to people like prizes.”

Her signing of the impeachment document was a comical parody of Presidential signing ceremonies

Senator Tom Cotton said that the reason she held up the sending of the formal articles to the senate was that her gold pen order was not delivered on time

She actually believes that she is relevant

Gloat? I hoe they gloat.

And will they gloat when they come up against the buzz saw defence team of President Trump, in full view of the nation on all news outlets?

Pass the popcorn.

We can call this next episode “Avengers of the Potomac”

The streets of Washington DC are about to run red with lefty
blood.

the second order of business will be the recusal of all four Democrat Presidential candidates that can not possibly render a fair verdict on the impeachment of President Trunp

Per Sen Marsha Blackburn on Fox and Friends

The pens were supposed to be stamped “United” but we’re actually stamped “untied”.

God has a sense of humor.

Maxine was holding her pen high in the air, like an extension to her black power fist. And that was exactly what she meant to do.

Pelosi's Theater of The Absurd was well-produced:

Nancy signed the articles with a full court press and now has a video of herself to rerun again and again.

Does she have a deal with Netflix?

Some of those she hand-picked to attend the signing even got a booby prize.

Piglosi handed out souvenir pens engraved with her name........paid for by taxpayers.

It was the Senate’s Bill Clinton impeachment pens that had the word “United” spelled “Untied.”

Let’s do a progressive type comparison:

Handing out commemorative pens is no different than the nazis making lampshades from concentration camp victims.

Hunter Biden move over. Now Nancy Pelosi’s son may be looking to take center stage with the Ukraine controversy. Paul Pelosi, Jr. spent time in Ukraine in 2017. “BOOM: Nancy Pelosi’s son Paul Pelosi Jr. (who went to Ukraine in 2017) was a board member of Viscoil and executive at its related company NRGLab, which DID ENERGY Business in UKRAINE! And Nancy Pelosi appeared in a promotional video for the company!”

Shortly after Nancy Pelosi became Speaker, in 2007, Paul Pelosi Jr. was employed by InfoUSA at $180,000 a year as vice chairman for Strategic Planning.

Nanzi has cunningly advanced her own obsession with being president——she is third in line.

NOTE WELL-—She has tasked Schiff to get the dirt to takeout Pence.

She cunningly structured impeachment articles so that conviction (or more likely acquittal) is not the end.

The two Articles of Impeachment include wording that Trump should not only be impeached, tried and removed from office.......

....... but that the House has deemed Trump’s actions are so egregious that he also warrants
“disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.”

That means even if Trump is reelected, Nanzi will make sure he will not be able to take office.

Enter Pres Nanzi.

She may have passed out the pens, but I bet we, the taxpayers, paid for them.
