With Democrats in control of the House, I’d be thrilled if the Senate did nothing between now and November 2020 except confirm judicial and cabinet appointments.
‘House Democrats burrow deeper into their impeachment inquiry.” It is not an “impeachment inquiry.” It is a complete sham and the leftist press is in on the charade.
” the government could plunge into a shutdown and any last hopes for legislating before the presidential election will vanish.”
You mean that Congress won’t be making new laws stealing our freedoms and property for a whole year? The HORROR!
McConnell shut just shut her down right now,
The Senate will not entertain any proceedings that originated in Partisan Secret Testimony.
BURN IT DOWN. I hope they shut down the whole town. However, I bet Trump won’t Barrycade the WWII Memorial if there is a government shutdown, like Oblabla did.
“But if the top two congressional leaders can’t find a way to come together soon, the government could plunge into a shutdown and any last hopes for legislating before the presidential election will vanish. “
Lordy, please don’t throw us into that briar patch! Please!
Mitch says....“Her problem at the moment is internal [in her caucus], not with us, but how to manage that whole process and how can we fit other things in it.”
No her problem is her house is breaking the laws surrounding impeachment (in that is what they want to do and are focused in doing and spending their time on it...they are wasting their time because they are breaking the law in the way they are going about it and she needs to be called out on that by all repubs loud and clear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is a open air ‘coup’ going on to taint the public opinion and that needs to cease and desist! and either impeach by the rules or not!!!!!!
And Mitch and the house repubs aren’t forcing the issue strongly enough! They are letting them win and ply their their games! Sure they are hurting themselves and shooting themselves in the foot with some BUT...at some point you need to piss on a fire to finally put it out as a last measure to stink it up!
I really don’t know who is the worst of the two. McConnell doesn’t seem at all interested in putting up a fight against the impeachment garbage and the Republicans have to count on him to fight it as they don’t have the power he has. But he doesn’t seem to understand his power or what he’s supposed to do with it. “I’ll have to hold a trial in the Senate” blah blah blah....Horse hockey - he doesn’t have to do anything except tell the demonrats to get stuffed!
Thank goodness we saw some guts on display today with the few Republicans willing to make a push at the closed door coup hearings. It should have been all of the Republicans. I only recognized two of them - Gaetz and Scalise - the rest were unfamiliar to me.
Well that is too bad because Turtle does not have half the balls Nancy does.
I still believe that McConnell is secretly on the side of the democrats. He may try to give some appearance otherwise at times. But if you really pay attention to what he does and says then I think he is a democrat at heart. And the democrats probably have the goods on him from somewhere in time.
Collision? Great! The role of road kill suits Pelosilly just fine.
McConnell should hold a press conference and alert the media that Pelosi is setting the terms for how the Senate will handle any impeachment referral. As Republicans in the House are constrained from participating, to the same extent, so will democrat senators.
No they aren’t
Unless Pelosi calls for a formal inquiry vote
Then she will have sunlight shine on the process
They won’t want that
It’s just Kabuki theatre or fan dance
Them and the media
Maybe to thwart Barr
Maybe
