Trey Gowdy has an interesting take on impeachment, the dems knew they couldn't win. Conventional takes are that they wanted to put the scarlet letter of impeachment on Trump, but Gowdy sees it differently...

There is no mathematical way he is ever going to be convicted and they know that,” Gowdy continued. “So their goal cannot be to remove Donald Trump from office, it is to neuter his second term. I think he is going to win in November. It’s to neuter that second term by targeting the [senators] Cory Gardners and the Martha McSallys and the Thom Tillises and the Susan Collins and Joni Ernstes, because if Trump wins and doesn’t have the Senate then he is not going to get any judicial vacancies filled and he’s not going to replace a Supreme Court Justice if he or she retires.”


Democrats have sought to obstruct Trump at every step, first conducting a two-and-a-half year probe into phony allegations that Trump and Russia colluded to alter the outcome of the 2016 election, and then on the even more absurd Ukraine investigation. Gowdy said that is all intended simply to block Trump in his second term.


“He is he not going to get the foreign policy he wants,” Gowdy said. “He is not going to get the Cabinet he wants. I never thought this was about removing Donald Trump because they’re not going to do it. It’s about putting Cory Gardner in a really tough series of votes so he has to defend them in November of this fall.”

Pelosi and no dummy.

Pelosi and no dummy.

So you're saying there's Pelosi. And someone who is apparently no dummy. Is this "no dummy" a democrat?

Or perhaps there was a typo?

 

[jamil]

Or perhaps there was a typo?

Well yes. Of course there was. It's INGO's way to take advantage of all typos. it's in the rules.


ETA: It's happened to me enough. I'm just paying it forward.

 

[nonobaddog]

Typos can be fixed.

 

[jamil]

Typos can be fixed.

Because typo retaliation is in INGO's unwritten rules, I typically try to fix my typos as soon as I notice them. Butt, sometimes I miss them.

Pelosi has announced she'll transmit articles of impeachment to Senate next week. The trial will take place right before Iowa caucuses, which pulls Sanders, Warren, and Klobuchar off the campaign trail at the worst time.

She's actually setting up Biden to win.

 

[BugI02]

Biden isn't ready for prime time. I would argue that her setting him up as the sole focus of the primary is actually priming him to fail ... spectacularly

 

[Doug]

Meh.
No one will get a majority on the first ballot. The super delegates, under the direction of the politburo will decide the candidate.
Democrats cannot allow democracy in their party.

You know in a debate with Trump he would eventually have a meltdown, maybe even a mental collapse.

And then will come the Hildebeest, not rising up from the sea, but out of Lake Michigan to the east of Milwaukee.

As Buttigieg is no longer mayor of SB, doesn't that mean that he is also free to attend?

The Senate does not need them anyhow - ever.

So I'm listening to the news and I hear this voice from the horror film, the one that calls you on the phone and says 'Don't go down to the basement.'. Only the voice, this awful voice, says 'Donald Trump will be impeached forever.'. So I look at the tv and it's the witch from Wizard of Oz.
