Trump fires back after Dems indicate impeachment could be used to block court nominee (i.e. Dems throw Challenge Flag)
Fox News ^ | 9/21/20 | Brooke Singman

President Trump on Monday claimed he would win the presidential election if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi actually attempted to use impeachment as an option to block his eventual Supreme Court nominee from being confirmed to the seat vacated by the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

2020 is a no-brainer: Trump wins and it’s nit even close.

I think Trump wins 340+ EV

“Ds don’t have the cajones to try such a blatantly partisan, disruptive tactic”

The Democrat men may not...

But the crazy Democrat women sure do.
They are Bat s**t cray!

According to the Left, President Trump, drawing breath is an impeachable offense.

Scum, all of them. Vermin. They are trying to destroy this country with their temper tantrum at being out of power, and refuse to see that their policies have nowhere near the amount of popular support they need to implement them.

Which is why they continually lie and deceive about their real intentions. As Richard Nixon once accurately said about Alger Hiss in the scourging of Whittaker Chambers: "If the American people understood the real character of Alger Hiss, they would boil him in oil." could be accurately paraphrased:

If the American people understood the real character of the Democrat Party, they would boil them in oil.”

Granted, this is not 1949, but there are still a significant number of Americans to whom that would accurately apply.

Confirm her. The dems are going to do Impeachment Part II anyway.

Do not be intimidated by the riots in the streets and the unpunished murders of innocent people. Confirm her.

The dems are going to play dirty between now and Nov 3. And after. Do not make any concessions to them.

I hope it’s a woman. Then no rape accusations. But they will claim she’s a religious fanatic.

That is something I find kind of humorous, because I would be willing to bet real money that few if any Democrats even understand that.

They think that if it goes to the House it is a done deal...and they don't realize that representation is counted just a little bit differently in this particular situation...and they don't have the advantage!

If I had it, I would post a picture of a confused Pelosi saying "Wait...what?"

They probably have their entire scummy, evil agenda predicated on a false premise.

"Game is tied. It's fourth down, ball is on the Republican's own 1 yard line. Democrats throw a challenge flag, intending to dispute the rule that allows teams to go for it on fourth down. They argue that the the rule should not apply here because if the Republicans go for it and win, they would lose the game."

I think a more appropriate analogy would be where the GOP is up with less than 2 minutes to play. The GOP has the ball at their own 40, and the Dems have no timeouts remaining. The GOP intends to run down the clock and take a knee at each snap, ensuring the Dems can't get the ball back. The Dems are appealing to the refs, saying that it's not fair that the GOP has the ball, and won't let the Dems have another chance to score and tie or win the game - EVEN THOUGH THOSE ARE THE RULES, AND HAVE BEEN THE RULES FOR AS LONG AS ANYONE REMEMBERS!

re: crazy D babettes:

...and, there are those talking today about AOC appearing with Schumer, talking up any means to delay a nomination. Where’s Pelosi ? It’s normally Pelosi & Schumer.

Conclusion: AOC is de facto Speaker of the House

If these Democrats weren’t such @ssholes I’d almost feel sorry for them. It seems obvious to me that they’re up against the following:

1. A rabid communist has died and left a vacancy on the Supreme Court.

2. Their major financial backers are telling them to do whatever it takes to block a Trump nomination.

3. They don’t have the power to block anything, so their only course of action is to engage in pointless political theatrics.

4. These theatrics are likely to turn off a lot of uncommitted voters during the peak of the 2020 election season.

I almost wish President Trump would nominate any random black woman ... just to see Joe Biden get on national TV and claim she isn’t black, and Kamala Harris claim she isn’t a woman.

The house will never elect her president. GOP has the majority by state delegation.

I don't think she could ever be chosen as president if the election is up to the HOR, even if the Democrats had the majority of states. Looks like it's a selection of the top three presidential candidates only:

The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed;

and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President.

But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote;

a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice.

(12th Amendment)

Note that if the president isn't chosen by inauguration, the vice president elect becomes president, and the VP-E is chosen by the Senate, not HOR.

“I hope it’s a woman. Then no rape accusations. “
____________________________________________

I wouldn’t rule that possibility out.

Simply because she’s a woman, doesn’t mean they won’t be able to try that smear. After all, there are plenty of cases where women have been guilty of that in our system.

No, I don’t believe for a second she’s done any such act.

Just saying that they can throw it out there.... Sigh.

The referees say that it is, and that the Republican 1 yard line has a big “45” painted on it by FNC. But it’s all lies!/s

I think it is more accurate to say Roberts is a swing voter. He is not a liberal since no liberal today would support the death penalty or curtail the rights of illegal aliens.

I sick of these impeachment stories. The senate has no obligation to hear the house’s impeachment. It won’t prevent anything.

It’s third overtime due to numerous obvious bad official calls when it should be a comfortable 24 point lead for team R. Team R quarterback is as hot as Montana or Brady at their peak. Team D’s signal caller is in double concussion protocol but forced to QB anyway. Has to be told the direction to goaline. No wide receiver. All D FG kickers ejected for cheating.
