    What are you talking about......your so wrong its not even funny anymore.

    The Clinton impeachment process followed EXACTLY what is happening here. ITS IN THE FRIGGEN CONSTITUTION!!!!

    The legislature drafted the articles of impeachment and the trial is in the senate. They haven’t gone to the senate yet. The articles are being drawn up now. JUST LIKE THEY DID WITH CLINTON

    Their is no “”agreeing” here. Your so wrong its ridiculous. They follow the very same process because its in the constitution !

    FFS man, your embarrassing yourself

    What does bipartisan mean? Does it mean that 1 or 2 of the opposition voted for it? I'm all for bipartisanship when it comes to lawmaking. You can tell when a bill is actually bipartisan because it becomes law in a divided congress.

    She's known all along that the Senate wouldn't agree. We all have.

    I do my research and include links when I post things that are not just my opinion. Just do your research, and I'll do mine. No need for pomposity.

    Yes and that is what this thread is trying to discuss despite numerous attempts to derail it.
    The house has passed close to 400 pieces of legislation, many of which had bipartisan support, that a single republican has refused to even allow a vote in the Senate.

    Yet, many are still saying they are doing nothing but focusing on impeachment.
    Which is a bold faced lie.

    I wish they would do nothing at all. Why on earth do we need 400 new laws? We have too many already.

    Because new issues arise that must be addressed. The issue we have is that laws never expire, the majority should have a sunset date.

    Acceptable. Let's require every new law to be accompanied by repealing three old ones. The real problem, of course, is that most of what federal government does shouldn't be done by federal government.

    Progressive wish list while ignoring the actual legislation that will help like USMCA.

    Why not read some of Peloisi's bills? She has to be harassed merely to protect our Southern border.

    You want bills passed that you never studied? I started studying her bills and they aare not worth being law.

    It plays into what I constantly complain about as to Democrats. Give them a day of the week and by god they will pass a law and when you look into that law, you just lost more freedom.

    Do you want your state to automatically register your vote for you and learn that your state was forced into this by her law that ensures a lot of slippery crooked voters are automatically registered?

    Definitely true. She is blocking that wonderful law so she can pass laws to take over what states get to do. Her voter law is an abomination.

    The fact that the Senate is controlled by the GOP is no reason to not impeach a corrupt President.

    My sentiments exactly. IMHO the process should have started when the Mueller Report came out. Pelosi had been sublimating constitutional duty for the sake of political expediency.

    Trump forced Pelosi's hand when he did the Ukraine bit. Pelosi did not want an impeachment, but you can't ignore obvious corruption.

    Pelosi is a shrewd lawyer.

    Like her or not, she's brilliant. Statues will be made of her. Schools will be named for her. Trump? Not so much.

    The House impeaches. The Senate tries the impeached and votes to remove from office or not. This Senate, under Moscow Mitch, will not convict Trump. There is no honor left in the Republican Party. They sold their souls to Donald Trump.

    You have a criticism that you'd like to make of McConnell? No? Then take your hypocrisy and shove it.

    House Democrats have passed nearly 400 bills

    - List the bills.
    - Provide a persuasive argument as to why a Republican interested in keeping his seat would vote for each of them.

    Else, your complaint has no substance.

    I didn't complain about Reid sitting on things. I'm not a hypocrite. I see you didn't bother to defend yourselves for your hypocrisy. Bravo! Just grab it by the horns, and ride it until a new opportunity to be a hypocrite arrives. No doubt that will be by the end of the day...
